Sneak peek of some polishing work. The cover with the oil cooler mount is a major PITA. So many crevasses and surfaces! I love the shineys though, so all the hard work is worth it.


Aircraft stripper: VENTILATE!! Seriously this is some bad stuff! Also it ate through nitrile gloves. Be prepared to neutralize with water, and wear proper PPE.



Dog!



Casting marks removal is a LOT of work



Shiney!

Dog looks like he got caught with his hand in the cookie jar...

No way, he's sayin' "Hey dude, I just polished up your cam caps. Whaddaya think?"

[chipripper]

That face says "why aren't we playing tug-o-war, can I eat these things you are polishing, what about your tires, can I chew on those?

Also, sadly my polishing skills are lackluster. Once I hit the parts with the buffer, I could see all the scratches and casting marks I missed when I went from 250 grit to 500 and 1000. I am going back over them now with 500 to get them as good as possible, but I seriously underestimated how much work polishing a sand-cast part would be . Next time I will hire a pro.

The money you will save though and the satisfaction is worth it though. I sanded and coated a carbon fiber sprocket cover 3 times once to get it looking perfect. It still wasn't perfect but each time it got better. I gave it to a buddy as a moving gift and he loved it. It made all the work worth it in the end.

Nice upgrade.  A custom seat is my next project.

Thought I already posted this.. but I guess not 

Custom Seat - ordered the seat cover from Greece for about $50 and picked up a used seat on ebay for $60 and had a local upholsterer put the new cover on for me for $30. I'm pretty happy with how it came out.

so I went down a couple weeks ago...in the process my headlight bucket (with projector retrofited) got damaged.  Upper fairing did not break due to it's a carbon fiber piece....so to get it back to the way it was

I install the new danmoto gauge, got the dual headlight set up, and install the 769 front fairing.  Here are some pics...

Love the fairing.  Does it provide any reduction in buffeting and wind blst protection?
