yeah you can turn it into a mirror.

the guy on ebay is polishing and selling all the stock 450r stuff.

shifter/kickstart/levers/covers

I was waiting to see if he had the time to polish the cam cover.

if your not afraid of a little work........

you can buy the polish kit,
or go to wal-mart and get some rub compound and some wax
for less than 50 bucks.

an old pair of socks and a tub of mothers will do wonders on unpainted aluminum. and if you leave your grab bar, bumper,levers,shifter, kicker (if you have one) it dont take long at all.

it takes a little rubbing from time to time to keep it looking chrome

I thought the cover was magnesum. I've seen them polished, so if it is you can polish magnesium? I dunno

yes you can polish magnesium

I think its an aloy with aluminum in it, but its stronger than aluminum.

if you polish magnisium , it will turn a nasty color the first time it is exposed to moisture.
