Is your bike looking tired? - Bringing the VFR800 back to life. 

Consider Solution Finish for restoring faded black plastics - less risk, will last longer, and won't make the plastic brittle.

To mod or not to mod, your 6th gen looks great. Keep up the great work. Glad you got it for a bargain. I love my '98 vfr800. Was thinking of, maybe, getting a 6th gen.

You can use BlackFire One by hand to lift the paint work, use some wax FK1000p Whiteshark is a was sealer can use on wheels and paint. I detail bikes, get all the scratches out of the paintwork, have a go...

If you get a good ceramic coating like Adams graphing and put it on the plastic it will make it look new. I did it to my VFR and it still looks new a month later and I have not reapplied anything.

Great ! I am gladly surprised by the way applied heat brought those parts back to life ! It looked like magic and I know you did not plan it ! Ha ! 🇵🇷

Plastic has petroleum oils in it, when you heat it you are bringing the oils back to the surface to replace the oils that have dried out. It works great to make parts look new but it will not last as long as they originally did. That being said if it isn't stored in full sun it will last for years. As for paint on plastic this will look more natural and have zero chance of peeling like most plastic paints have to deal with in places that friction.

Vasalene also is very good at restoring black plastic and faded plastic hand controls....

I used mat black bumper paint on those plastics after they loook like brand new

Dawn, Simple Green degrease first then wash.

Vfr looks great

Wow Que lindo te quedó.

Plenty of black products to use on plastic, will protect without the blotching. MEGS do black trim product. Poorboys Trim is an oil type...Gyeon or Gtechniq.

Holaaa very nice tube,

The music in the background is way too intrusive and totally unnecessary.

wow how are the black plastic today my VFR need this treatment too.

Poorboys Tire works, use IPA first...no heat gun brings out oil plus parts will crack... Most plastic coating products have UV protection..

1:34 why does that ratchet click/slip twice before it engages, never seen that before?
