Try in Kormangla Sachin AutoShop near saibaba temple. I got the same 2 months back.
I also tried Amway Silicon glaze when i didn't got the same a week back and it was too good. Suggested by some autoshop person.

I will upload the snaps for the job done by the silicon glaze product soon

Some shop in comm street, dont remember. he ahd lotsa power tools though.

raghu.t.k · 24th September 2008, 12:56

That is one well maintained bike. Do you still manage to get the spares for this ?

Mine is also of the same shade. Of late I find it difficult to find spares, tried replacing the saree gaurd, and could not find any. Also the some other parts are in short supply even with Yamaha.

Bike aint mine so no worries

Man, he is lucky to have a friend like you. That's a job well done. Bringing the shine back on a car / bike is one of the most simple pleasures in life.

P.S. You can borrow my Jeep anytime you want
