 JB,
Just curious on what you do about salt. Your in Wis. right? Wis. even
use
salt?
It's northern IL. I work within a mile of WI and both states use salt
and lots of it. I try and avoid riding the Ambo in snow when the salt is
wet in the slush. I built my winter SR500 for that, complete with
Eldo/ambo fenders and plywood lowers. No rear shocks because the
swingarm bushings rusted solid and 70's style enduro tires.
The Ambo has seen some salt dust but I try and clean that off. Plus
Sidney posted something on a metal guard spray from Amsoil and I bought
a few cans. Leaves a slight wax build-up that seems like it will work.
Hey, seriously, the spray may be worth using on the bottom of the seat
pans and inside the battery covers/pan.
