Valet & ACF

Colm17RvB

Almost at that time of year again where the roads are going to be covered with silty salty crap again, so looking for recommendations on where to get a valet and ACF treatment done. Any suggestions?

Tempted to head out to bikeworld or megabikes and buy it to do myself, but I am fierce lazy and I know it'll just sit on the shelf gathering dust.

Also, search function on the new version of boards.ie is shocking...

Motorcycle Valeting Dublin, they're based in Walkinstown, Dublin 12. I'm anal about my bike and I wouldn't trust anyone else to clean it.

+1 for Brian in MVD, has looked after multiple bikes for me.

Anyone outside Dublin?

Crying out for someone in the West to do this.

Sure there's no point cleaning your bike in the west of Ireland, it'll only rain 😛

You're not wrong.

Eventually I'll have to take my bike in for its first service and get the valves checked as per the service schedule in the manual. Looking for recommendations for a garage in the West and I could also ask them to coat the bike in ACF 50.

For servicing I would recommend Sean Griffin in Clarenbridge. He can be very busy at times, so book well ahead.

You'd have to ask him if would do the ACF though - that's not something you can just liberally apply. The last time I got that done (along with a bunch of others) we got All Year Biker NI to come to Galway and do a bunch in one go, over 2 days. https://bikersni.org/places/lisburn/valet/all-year-biker-ni/

Not sure if they're still in action, but I do see a guy called Andrew Bell listed on the allyearbiker.co.uk site, based in Lisburn: https://allyearbiker.co.uk/booking/

I could do with that service myself tbh, have a few to do.

Thanks, unfortunately though I can't cross the border as still on a provisional but I will consider taking it to the guy in Clarenbridge.

You don't by any chance know of any garages in Mayo or close to it? The bike is due for its first service in a few weeks and I'm still new so don't want to be going too far.

galwaytt

Where in Mayo are you ?

Sorry should have said I'm in Castlebar but I am willing to travel around a little bit.

Recently came across this good article and the testing he did suggests that ACF may not in fact be the best at preventing rust, but instead XCP fared better. The article and video are well worth a look.

I do bike cleaning / valeting / ACF to very high standards. Local bike dealer uses me for all their bikes. Tralee based. €50 to get your bike back looking as new. Can collect and deliver back for an extra charge of course depending on distance.
