more indulgent whoring
This is the new bottom triple for my naked
It started life as a stock gixxer unit. the tag for the steering damper was removed, the triple dipped in caustic to remove the anodising and the casting marks removed by filing. I then cleaned up the worst of the scratches and file marks with a drill mounted sanding drum before passing it to a mate who does polishing.
Thi is what I got back. bloody awesome  .
So if anyone in oz wants an ultra shiny bike then PM me for his details . he's not cheap nor is he dear but man he's good!!

half polished fades quickly, properly polished lasts well
Unless you have salt on the roads

this thread has the potential to turn into a full blow tech debate, then end up as a off topic post whore 
seriosuly, just a bit of elbow grease then. I obviously lack patienec as found niggly bits really hard to get to same level of shine as easy bits!
but then just laquer to preserve shine right?
