ID:	7095. Little update went to Ian's on saterday got my bike back all wiring sorted,spent a few hrs at Sydney raceway to have a look and watch shed built race,got home after a long day just got bike fired up done oil change will pull carbs to clean out pull plugs,sort a few things out most new bits then go about sanding the white off and painting or polishing the frame and bits.so I think il start a build thread sometime on hire and show from start to finish hope to ha e the bike on the road in a couple of months or at least road going and to a drag event in a month or so.

    You know how much work you have put into polishing so far? Well imagine doing that every few months. Does that sound like a winner? If not; get it powdercoated.

    I know what it takes mate,wen I got the bike it was a j model they came blacked frame,I sanded frame foot Gards top clamp and rad tanks and hit them with hi speed soft wheel and white wax,then I would just use micro rag and metal polish every few months or if it got wet would dry it off and lightly polish by hand with the rag and some polish again.the hardest part is the sanding to get all the marks out to start with then the polish off the wheel then it's just a matter of keeping polish on it every few months.i don't won't to pull bike to bear frame to have it powder coated just yet,I got a 79 sportster I won't to start doing that with,been told a few times to clear the metal after I polish but I don't see it staying on to well.after today think il go back to polished frame and swing arm sides and black the rest out with gloss black

    In the picks I have posted,I haven't polished anything only paint stripped and some minor sanding with 800grit.the more you sand alloy up in grades the lest it takes to polish I like the raw alloy look tho.

    Fair enough. You're right about the effort involved in full strip down compared to polishing a few times.
