Re: Grey forks polished
You must be a very patient and steadfast man, Gazar.
Looking great. Well done.
Do you polish on a linishing wheel?
I worked in a shed where one guys job was polishing alloy bullbars, all day long. Very dirty job.
You could make quite a quid doing wheels for guys, you know.

Re: Grey forks polished
Linishing wheel is an attachment on bench grinder that is made up of layers of cloth. Utilising varying grades of Linishing "soap", a bar with polishing grit, to cut and polish alloy to a fine shine.
My hat is off to you for your efforts.

Re: Grey forks polished
That my friend is the best polish job I have ever seen . I have polished a lot of items and give up on items with lugs and recesses , those forks are covered
in them . How about a wheel exchange service , ride in -ride out . I NEED THOSE WHEELS

Re: Grey forks polished
All that's needed now is some black or red painted tank and fairings. The grey paint doesn't do the polishing any justice. Just my opinion of course.

Re: Grey forks polished
Impressive stuff, you've done a great job!!
Think I'll leave mine as is, I reckon you'll spend as much time up keeping the new finish as you will riding it;)
