I finished up the main detailing to get rid of all the oxidation. I started to work on some of the corroded wiring and other problems. I had a really hard time getting off some of the body screws because they were so rusted.
All cleaned up:
Bus connector fix (common problem on 2005 and 2006 Kawasaki Brute Force 750’s)
Took the wires out of this plug, stripped then soldered.
Then taped them up nice and secure…
After 10 months of looking I finally found the ATV deal I was looking for. A 2005 Kawasaki Brute Force 750. It has 33 hours on the clock ~170 miles, its basically brand new. I spend about 8 hours today detailing the quad, it was pretty oxidated from sitting outside. I used a oxidation remover and then wax on the whole ATV. Its coming out pretty good. I took off the racks and starting spray painting some of the rusted bolts and parts with Rustoleum. The plow needs to be reconditioned as well, I’ll probably strip that down to bear metal with the wizzer next week. Here are some pics:
My “spray booth”
When browsing around today I saw quite a few sites talking about the Rails Best Practices presentation / talk that ihower did at the Kungfu RailsConf. Check it below, it really covers a lot of basic tips on how to clean up your code and follow some better coding practices.
Someone just released a gem that will analyze your code and check for “Best Practices” - seems promising. Check it out at GitHub here: http://github.com/flyerhzm/rails_best_practices
