Polished Rims.

First topic message reminder :

After having polished wheels on the previous bike(1200s)I decided to do my own on the new one (1250naked)What surprised me was how easy and how quick it was.It cost about $5 and took about 2hrs a wheel.Suzuki have done most of the work for you.If anybody wants to know how just ask.I will try to download some photo's but i'm new to the forum stuff(type with one finger and letters hide sometimes+

Excellent tutorial TOG. Well done.

Thanks,I realised I didn't take any of the paint lifting of, but I had gloves on and didn't really want to handle anything unnecessarily. Its not a difficult process, just fiddly at times, but it is rewarding.

Yep, looks good. Now all we need is a pic of the whole bike out in the sun with those rims shining at their best

Sun's is not quite shining, but some pics anyway

Now you just need to change the can

LAMs bike, intention is to leave it stock, though I have been tempted to mod it up, the only mod I'm thinking of is to change the throttle grip to an SV650 Gen 1, brings the powerband into a useful area of the throttle with a 1/6 turn instead of 1/5 the stock GS500 throttle has. Right now you have to really twist the throttle to get into the power band, the SV650 throttle cures that by all reports.

Looks good.
I see you have your Christmas lights up in the background, thumbs up to you

well done mate....looks great:D

Great write up. Now to polish the engine covers

Btw I reckon that front guard would look good on the Bandit. Any chance of a pic of it with the bandit if you ever remove it?

I have been looking for something less Batman for a while for mine.

Don't change it, the standard pipe is louder and sounds better than anything else on the market. Probably because it is basically the same one they've had since 1991...

Best learner bike ever btw.
