The guy that did mine (above) would typically charge around $280 AU for something like this. Although the coating on it is around $220AU for 30ml. A bottle would do 6 bikes however. Without the coating and just a regular quality sealant it would have been around the $180 - $220 mark.

Onto the finished result. Given it was late afternoon and the sun was getting low, my normal spots were lacking sun but I managed to get a few together – so enjoy this missile branded as a motorcycle
Some of the plastics on the bike looked to be suffering a little weathering – possibly due to the sun over in WA but it was nothing Solution Finish couldn’t handle. The rear hugger, chain guard, mirrors, air intake and under the nose were all restored to a factory finish.
Finally, the...
Now that the coating was completed, attention turned to protecting and dressing the remaining parts of the bike.
The exhaust and swingarm were treated to a light polish and protected with CG Wheel Guard to boost gloss and aid cleaning

With the body completed, attention was turned to the parts that had been removed. The two stage correction and jeweling again gave mind blowing results – deep blue with popping flake, dark inky black and carbon with so much clarity and gloss it was breath taking
The bike was then inspected...

Corrections on such a curvy bike are always slow but the resulting reflections are always worth the time...
Hey all,
A good mate of mine runs a backyard detail business in his spare time and said he'd give the HP4 the once over.. I thought I'd share the results..
To kick things off a full decon began with the usual APC/foam mix. Dodo?s Total wipeout coupled with CG snow foam made short work of any...
Did anyone end up going the Alpha Racing or IRC blipper route?
Side by side the control boxes looks the same, but one has the Alpha sticker
- Harnessing looks the same
- Connections look the same
- Programming instructions look the same
- QS strain gauge sensor looks exactly the same...
Hey all,
First time poster, long time reader!
I've not long (3
months) picked up a late 2013 BMW HP4 that I had shipped to Canberra over from
Perth.
She's my first litre bike (up from a 500) and while it's well
beyond my skill level and was originally only looking at either a base S1000RR...
I'm not sure if you've since sorted this out, however I've just been through the same situation.
I bought my HP4 2nd hand from Perth, Australia to Canberra.. It was only once it arrived that I noticed the lack of heated grips (I thought they were standard but apparently a A$200 option). I can't...
