Foam for airbox/black plastic restoration

#1 Post by V4 Heaven » Tue Jan 08, 2013 6:55 pm

Hi all,

Where can I get hold of some foam, preferably with an adhesive backing to replace the damaged foam on my carb/airbox intakes?

Also, what is the best way to restore the hard black plastics of the airbox, intakes, oil tank etc? Mine have a mix of deep scratches and minor scratches.

Many thanks for your wise advice!
Gettin' kinda squirrely!

Get in contact with 1601pete on here,i am sure he found a good match for the airbox foam when he restored his bike.

you could lightly sand the plastic some fine filler for the scratches . plastic prime then use black bumper/plastic paint
