    just done the wheels on my 999 full shine the whole wheel.A lot of work if your wanting the chrome look, or expensive if you want to pay for a proper shine

    Having done this on a couple of previous bikes I can highly recommend sending them to a professional polisher, unless you're a gltton for punishment of course!

    Before you judge a man, walk a mile in his shoes. After that, who cares? ...He's a mile away and you've got his shoes

    Yeah I want to do mine, The paint on them is appalling. Lets the whole bike down.
