It's pretty hard to detail a bike and not miss all the small parts but I found that taking some parts off helped with the polishing I was often wishing I had the 4 inch spot buffing pads. the owner is happy and so am I.

Looks great Patrick. I got my 4" pads from TOL and typically only use them on bikes. They work out great but still many intricate areas you end up doing by hand.

Great results! :bigups

That looks really great. R1s are such cool looking bikes. One of my detailer coworkers has a bike just like it and he had an idea I thought I might share with you. He used some 3M ClearBra material and installed it on the tank and above the tailight. (I outlined the areas on your bike in Photoshop below.)

The area on the tank was getting scratched because his leathers would rub against it while he was riding, and tail would occasionally get hit by his boots when he was getting on or off. Anyway, I know ClearBra tends to be a rather polarizing issue among detailers, but I thought this was good application another R1 rider might want to hear about.
