I addition to offering a polshing service, Motoshine can also provide a 'facelift' service for your bike. This is not a full nut & bolt restoration, nor is it just a good wash, but somewhere between the two. Read on to find out more...
The Virago pictured below was brought to us by it's new owner, who wasn't sure we would ever be able to get the bike looking good. It had been 'ratted' in a previous life, and all the bodywork was sprayed matt black, and the rest had just been left to rust & dull.
We carefully stripped off the bodywork, assessed which parts might need replacing (the bike was surprisingly solid under all the dirt!) and set to work getting it looking better. A lot of work was put into cleaning the engine up, the 'before' pictures clearly show the amount of 'fur' growing around those casings! After the main work had been finished, the bodywork was sprayed a bright metallic blue to really make the bike stand out. We're sure you'll agree from the photos that the transformation has made the bike look a lot better. The new owner was really pleased, he hadnt imagined the bike would ever look this good.
Facelifts can be completed from as little as £350 depending on the level of work needed. Motoshine are currently working on transforming a bit of an 'ugly duckling' 1980's bike into a stylish Cafe Racer (photos to come soon) and have several other facelifts in the pipeline, but if you would like to find out more about making your bike look fresher, please contact us.
