Aluminum Polishing

[desertrefugee]

Just another installment of the obsessive polisher's club. The forks on my 1000 didn't quite live up to the rest of the bike.

They do now: (EDIT: sorry they're sideways. Sent from my phone)

Now it occurs to me that I need braided steel brake lines up there.

Sheesh.

:clapping: Looks good! I've been working on the wheels on the 1800 with Flitz;I do NOT want to spend $850 a pair for chrome wheels... Flitz and elbow grease seem to be getting it done..

Be well. :rocks:

Hey John, before you work your fingers to the bone on those wheels, watch this video...

The nice thing about doing it the first time is that when you take the parts off and want to clean them up again, it doesn't take near as long to get the desired results. My valve and timing belt covers are off and I just hit them with a rag and they shine. Hitting them with the buffer again will make them sparkle once more.
