    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?

    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. Click image for larger version.

    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
