SparkyMark 49 Posted May 23, 2021 Thought I would post some pics of the cleaned up Foreman. Plastics came up like new after refinishing them. Mechanically and electrically it's perfect and running smooth. Seat has been replaced since these were taken. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Indeed - we were chatting about electronics. LCD meter and gear position switch / indicator. Transpires (despite Honda dealer) that the FM model does not show the gear indicator in the meter thanks to @AKATV 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sanded down with 230, 400, 800, 1000,1500, 2000 wet n dry paper. Then polished. Added new marks. Finished with a fine spray of SC1.

Bought for utilitarian purposes - so it's going to get dirty and worked hard - which is what these machines were designed to do. Snow blade attachment is in the side room out of view. Just had a new bottom plate and receiver for the blade manufactured by a local welding company out of 1/4" steel plate.
