hey any one got any advice on getting a deep scratchs out of lower fork leg? ( not the chromoly bit the flat silver, on a vl800) would getting a small bolb of weld on it then taking to a metal polisher do any good?

It's an epoxy, so whilst it is a glue, it's a pretty kick arse one.

There is nothing that you can add to that cast lower that will not be visible as a repair. If that bothers you, then you should repaint it after you repair it.
