Check it out. I did this in about fourtyfive minutes.
The pic is kinda poor. It shines alot more than the pic shows.

I like anything shiny.
What did you give to have those all chromed?

I have the ability to make the aluminum shine like chrome but then you are always shining it.

shiny is always good and it takes alot of work to keep it that way

so far i've polished my throtle cover, front master cylinder cover, oil dipstic, a select amount of the oil filter cover, and the front valve cover. I intend to do the whole front master cylinder, whole throttle, and side cases(they will be far in the future)

I am waiting till the next oil change for the oil filter cap.
You polished the tank? Hard to tell in the pic, looks almost coated.
I was thinking of P/C on it. I need to get my header P/C'd too.
I did my motor mounts yesterday before the going to the races. And am making a list of things to shine when it is raining too hard to ride.

Soggyrider,,,

yeah my tank is polished,,,it is a pingry that i polished out. Powder coating your stock tank will cause it to retain a little heat but not that much really...and there are powdercoatings now for headpipes,,,,i just did some for a race car to see how it holds up......i will get a pic of my tank later....
