Message: <blockquote data-quote="mcgovern61" data-source="post: 165984" data-attributes="member: 59">I have several Winter projects lined up for my old girl this season; rebuilding the '82 self cancelling turn signal system, removing a Hondaline quick disconnect trunk and adding a Honda 1100 trunk, potentially painting the tank, fenders and covers and adding the OEM pinstripes back on.In order to do the self cancelling turn signals, I need to remove the installed '81 triple tree (My bike is a restored '82 with lots of '81 parts taken from a wrecked parts bike).  I have a replacement '82 triple tree, new to me '82 speedo/tach and gauges, rebuilding my '82 wire harness (currently sitting in a box) and installing a new to me '82 turn signal controller on the handlebars.To pull the triple tree, I obviously have to pull the front end.  While the front wheel is off this time, I would like to spruce it up by re-painting the black.  Problem is, I do not know what it looked like originally?  Was the black flat, semi or glossy?  Was the aluminum shiney at one point or always just a dull finish?  I am not planning on powder coating or anything like that, but am think of taping off the tire, pull the rotors, paint the wheel and then Dremel the aluminum clean again.Thoughts or comments? :headscratch:  <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite7" alt=":p" title="Stick out tongue    :p" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":p" />opcorn:</blockquote>
