    i have a lot of sratches on my back fender form tight trail riding, all what ido is if the sracth is visible (dirt and dust in it) i give it a nice wash down and then shine her up with Amerall and it is a nice looking machine after that wash!!!

    Another thing that works well for me is Mop N Glo....a good bath and a few coats of that will make it look just about new!!

    beware of plastic renew ....it works for a few days, then the chemical comes out , BUT you already sanded the color out of your plastic so it looks worse..i made that mistake

    Plastic Renew, its like 20 bucks, comes with sand paper, and a liquid plastic solution. Works good, my plastic was getting all scratched up, my buddies where laughing at me, saying my 1 yr old bike had 10 yr old plastic , after I used Renew even they where impressed.

    Shines like new, gets most the light scratches out, says you can get all the scratches if you have the time, took me like 2 days, (6 hours) to do a decent job. If i wanted to get all my scratched out it probably would of took at least twice that amount of time:square

    For the scratches, dont worry about them. Just use some form of tire dressing and it will be looking new again in no time. If the bike gets REALLY bad, replacement plastics are dirt cheap at servicehonda.

    As for the Razrs, I highly recommend them for riding around MIlford with all of the rocks we have to deal with. I bought the 6 ply 22in tires, pound the hell out of them and have never had a flat. The 22in provide a much better ground clearance so you wont kill your skidplate in 2 weeks. In fact I will order the same tires again from rockymtn.

    Just speaking from personal experience.

    Use mop n glow. It works pretty good and doesn't leave the plastic greasy. As for scratches i wouldn't worry abou it. These are off-road machines meant to take a beating!!!!!!:devil
