Winter Washing?

Bikes been neglected the last few weeks so as it my day off and the weather is ok, i thinks its time to wash the bike down. The salt and grime are causing some of the parts to tarnish,so a good rub and polish shoud do the trick. Have been out in all weathers this year from snow & ice to warm wet days. The [b]sprint[/b] has not missed a beat. The only thing I have noticed is some times when I hit a bump/hole in road there is a noise like the back end has fallen off. Really looking forward to some warmer days as realy fed up with not being able to see out of visor on cold wet mornings. Safe Biking Gibbo

Fairings

My fairing worked loose when I first had my sprint. It showed up as a ker-clump when I went over bumps. I'd look around for where fairing parts attach to the frame to see if any have worked loose. I have had to have one or two parts changed under warrantee because they tarnished in the first year. It was as if the bike were left parked in a sea-side car-park for a year. Triumph were happy to change them once I had explained to the dealer that I hadn't been using nitric acid as a cleaning agent. I don't know what these guys are on sometimes.
