Went for a nice run after going mad on bike parts again.
I cleaned/polished every clamp and hose clip to go on the motor then I did this...

Damn right!


I've been reading a build thread on a nice toy with a custom made frame etc etc (it's fuckin' amazing) and now I want to polish my whole frame.

So guys, leave the black on the frame? Or spend seventy more years polishing?

Damn right!

The reason I didn't polish the whole frame in the first place is the black parts are cast alloy and fucking ugly, they'll take a huge amount of sanding to get flat and pretty.
Oh well, it can be done.

That's one vote for.
I'm undecided

It will match the wheels though
Speaking of, I made a start on the front rim.
Black centres are going to look hot

[ducatilover]

Well polishing the rim wasn't enough (lol rim polish...)

Looks really good. What'd you polish with - autosol?

Sand paper, two hours of sanding the prick of a thing per side. I ran out of Autosol when I did the rocker cover

that looks mint bro! I know what I'm doing on my aprilia now.. polished lips with black centers hehe

the frame and swinger on the aprilia are already polished so should be tight.. especially with the sweet gold Brembos for bling
