You kids should spend more time riding, and less time polishing:D
Its summer, get out and ride. Polish your chit in the winter.

I usually feel the same way.But in this case i just wanted to shine em up i guess.I still feel like he's getting a good deal even though they arent a mirror.They still shine like a mofo.Plus only a $15 polishing job.And only $155 for the hubs rotors and polished spindles.So hes not comming out too bad.:D
And thanks for all the comments everybody

Spindles look good, I still need to do mine since the frame is still at the powder coater. Here is my swing arm if the picture works.

You guys ever seen a 250r bumper this shiny ?! It outshines Lonestars chrome A-arms that are on it!:p

07-12-2003, 03:43 PM
Actually the swing arm wasn't too bad. I think it took about 3 hours. Yes it is cast aluminum, smoothing the casting was the hard part.

the polishing looks sweet guys.

unfortunatley everything on my quad thats is now polished will be chromed this fall thanks to popo. i dont have the time to keep up with polishing so ill chrome the parts. he has run every gncc and his stuff still looks brand new so he is gonna get my business.

i dont see how they do a stock 400ex swing arm. they are really ruff to start with. more power to anyone who does one:p keep postin pics....i need to see what my stuff used to look like:confused2
07-13-2003, 03:35 PM

hey guys when you do polishing do you buy the kits from the hardware store that you put on your drill? do you get kits for smaller spots that you can attach to a dremel tool?

you need a bench grinder with buffing wheels on it.And a dremel works good in tight spots.A drill just dont do it.

They look good. Polishing is a big pain in the arse.

FYI, I would put a good coat of wax to help prevent from tarnishing in the pitted areas. Rubbing alcohol will also clean the best.

Ahh that's an even better idea. I just got a new bench grinder from this garage sale of some old guy that died. Brand new for $15 =)

3 drums. various tumbling media, etc...we polish all our brass to mirror with 3 or 4 stage process, why couldn't you do it that way Rick?

Are you talking about bullet cassings?I never even thought about tring that.It may work,I have no clue.I just did what CW said he does and its messy as hell but works great.
