Have to agree with the saddle interior

Gonna take a break on the car for a week, then wet sand/buff and start reassembly on the exterior.

Interior will be later.

I did the Lizard skin so will be curious if anything feels (heat) different or sounds different. During the 2011 Power Tour, hard to have a conversation with the top down at 75-80 mph with the side pipes. Was looking more at some heat soak protection.

Exterior Body was very very clean.

Here is a picture earlier in my ownership with it's stablemate.

I used Lizard Skin - both products (thermal and sound) on the underside and interior cabin. With the interior, we also added a Dynamat type product. The combination of all products yielded excellent results !!!

Anybody have a manufacturer preference on Cloth tops? This will be towards the end of this stage.

Wet sanding and buffing begins next week, then reassembly of the outside.

For those going on the Power Tour, be safe and have fun.
