I've Been At It again!
 

Polishing, that is :D

With the forks out for fitting the emulators it gave me a good chance to strip and polish the stanchions. Not as good a job as the professionals would do, I know..............but I don't think they look too bad. I do love doing metal polishing, I find it really satisfying and can quite happily spend hours on it. I polished the brake and gear levers too.:D

Nice job Lissa. :thumbsup:


(Mine are in the post, just don't take too long okay? :wink: )

They are really shiny. I'm glad you like doing it so much 'cause it's going to be on ongoing chore to keep them looking like that. :wink:

If I send you mine will you do them for me :lol:

:D

I polished the forks on our last SV too, and as I wash and polish the bike after every ride I found that 10 mins with the Solvol was more than enough to keep them looking good once the original polishing job was done :wink:

Hey, Misssusss Jonnnnnbooooooy... ya hear that? :lol:


.

Nice work. :lol:

Re: I've Been At It again!
 

Sorry to be thick but could someone point me in the right direction of the grade of wet and dry to strip 'em back with - then is it autosol from there?
Cheers

When i done mine, i used Nitromors paint stripper, then 800 grit, then 1200 grit wet n dry, some meduim scoth brite, then yes autosol. However, a polishing kit would do a far better job with a drill after you had stripped the lacquer off.
