๐Ÿ”ฅ CLASSIC FEST WEEKEND IS HERE!๐Ÿ”ฅ

What. A. Week.

The kettle barely had time to boil, the polishing machines haven't stopped spinning, and we're fairly sure Wally hasn't slept since Tuesday. ๐Ÿ˜…
Between TheBikeBuffs, Polishing Technologies Ireland , and Wally's Custom's, we've been putting in the hours to make sure everything is looking its absolute best for Classic Fest.

Blood, sweat, coffee, and probably a few questionable decisions have gone into getting these machines ready.

Our good friend Jason Dunne Fiberman will be pulling the covers off the legendary Joey Dunlop SP1, and trust us, it's one you won't want to miss. ๐Ÿ‘€

Gates open at 11am, so get yourself down early and check out some absolute weapons on two wheels and four. From immaculate restorations to jaw-dropping customs, there's something for every petrolhead.

See ye there!

๐Ÿšจ Coated Bike Maintenance 101 ๐Ÿšจ

People think once a bike is ceramic coated it needs some sort of NASA-approved maintenance schedule... it doesn't. ๐Ÿ˜…

Maintaining a coated bike is about as difficult as sticking the dinner plates in the dishwasher (and for some of ye, even that's a challenge ๐Ÿคฃ).

Here's the process:

โœ… Rinse the bike to remove heavy dirt and grime.

โœ… Apply Feynlab Rinseless at a dilution ratio of 1:200.

โœ… Sit back, admire your handiwork and let it dwell.

โœ… Rinse off with low-pressure water.

โœ… Air dry or towel dry.

โœ… Every few washes, give it a quick top-up with Feynlab Hybrid Detailer to keep that gloss popping and protection topped up.

That's it. No scrubbing. No standing there questioning your life choices. No sacrificing a Sunday afternoon.

A properly coated bike sheds dirt easier, cleans quicker and stays looking fresher for longer.

Keep her coated. Keep her clean. Keep her Lit

Today's been absolute carnage in the workshop! ๐Ÿคฏ

Classic Fest prep is well and truly underway and the pressure is on. Bikes everywhere, parts everywhere, and somehow every bit of grease that was on the SP1 has magically transferred itself onto me. ๐Ÿ˜œ

Even Wally from Wally's Custom's has been spotted down on his knees helping to get these machines show-ready. We're not saying miracles happen... but it's close enough! ๐Ÿ˜‚

The SP1 is coming together nicely and we're flat out trying to squeeze 36 hours' work into a 24-hour day.

On top of all that, we've got something completely new coming soon...

๐ŸŽŸ๏ธ 2001 Honda FireBlade Raffle Bike
๐ŸŽŸ๏ธ 2009 Triumph Daytona 675 Race Weapon Raffle Bike

Both bikes are currently getting the full treatment and we'll have more details soon. Trust us, you're going to want to keep an eye on these.

Right, enough typing. Back to the workshop.

Yamaha R1 โ€“ Part 3: The Final Chapter ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ๏ธ

From tired and TFR damagedโ€ฆ to showroom savage.

This R1 has been through major surgery over the past few weeks and now itโ€™s time for the finishing touches.

Every panel corrected. Every surface refined. Every detail obsessed over.

We locked in the finish with Feynlab Ceramic V3, treated the wheels & calipers, then IR baked the coating to perfection for maximum durability and gloss. The transformation on this bike has honestly been unreal.

The depth in the paint.
The shine off the wheels.
The crisp white fairings against the red frame.
Pure Yamaha aggression brought back to life.

This one became a labour of love in the workshop and truth be toldโ€ฆ if we couldโ€™ve kept her, we probably would have ๐Ÿ˜…

But sheโ€™s heading back to her rightful owner fully protected, easier to maintain and ready for the road once again.

And Joeโ€ฆ maintenance washes now take minutes mate, so thereโ€™s absolutely no excuse for those lazy car wash trips anymore ๐Ÿ˜œ

Huge thanks to everyone who followed this R1 revival series from start to finish ๐Ÿ™Œ

Keep her lit ๐Ÿ”ฅ

Fair play Jason Dunne Fiberman for raising that amount for a worthy cause. The GSXR still looks as clean as you got it. Just shows that the FEYNLAB Ireland products offer maximum protection. When the bike comes back we will put together a video to show ease of maintenance once your bike has been protected to this level.

Yamaha R1 โ€“ Post TFR Recovery ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ๏ธ

Rightโ€ฆ where do we start with this one?

This R1 came in after a rough encounter with TFR and letโ€™s just sayโ€ฆ the bike wasnโ€™t exactly thanking anyone for it ๐Ÿ˜…

But weโ€™re back. Actuallyโ€ฆ sheโ€™s back.

โœ… TFR damage corrected
โœ… Full paint correction carried out
โœ… Exhausts machine polished back to life
โœ… Panels reassembled
โœ… Plastic welded crack repair on the nose cone
โœ… Resprayed panel to finish it properly

Now she sits for 30 days to fully cure before we move onto Part 3 โ€” applying Feynlab Ceramic V3 along with Wheel & Caliper coating for that deep gloss and easier maintenance.

The transformation on this one is savage. From tired and damaged to looking ready to terrorise roads again ๐Ÿ˜ฎโ€๐Ÿ’จ

Stay tuned for the ceramic coating stage ๐Ÿ‘€
Keep her lit ๐Ÿ”ฅ
