well, it looks like im looking for a new paint job or the bike. i havent been able to ride now for about 3 weeks; doctors orders. but it was so nice out today, i went anyway, and im paying for it now. but anyways, paint. last weekend, i wa washing it and ive been using this stuff called pig snot. its an all bike cleaner like the S1000 and it does an awesome job. spray on, hose off. done. well, our cutlass(see pictures of my new seat) is for sale and a guy stopped by to look at it while i was washing the bike. i didnt get a chance to rinse the pig snot off before he got there and it dried and i had to leave it sit for about a half hour. so i thought, ok, no big deal. i hosed it off, dried it and put it away. about a week later, i had nothing to do, so i decided to clean it up. got out the cleaner wax and did the front, got to the tank, and noticed the paint. the pig snot took off som of the clear coat and oxidized the paint. it looks bad. so im probably gona end up getting it repainted now. not sure it i wana stick to the stock paint scheme or not. im looking for custom stuff to get some ideas. i might just leave it and keep it waxed to prevent it from getting worse. if you're gona use an all bike cleaner, make sure to rinse it off very very well and wax it when you wash.

ps. i fell in love with a 2007 road king. if i only had the money....id keep the drifter and get the harley too.
