sv650 stripped and being cleaned/polished

[maviczap]

Just spent the last 2 afternoons in my garage polishing up a yoke and forks

I'll post some pic's up soon. Yoke was a bit weird, as the more I polished it, these tiny circles appeared. I guess they're from the casting process?

I clicked on the link to where you bought you polishing compounds and found it has been hijacked by an American firm? The clue was you paid for next day delivery, from the USA!

Here's the UK company site which you originally posted

TMI dude.

Eyup Liam!

It looks the absolute mutts nutts mate! Been ridiculously busy recently, but can't wait to pop over a see it. Bit ashamed of how dirty mine is, so will give it a good clean before I do , and will get those 'S' ordered so we can get them in the same spot.

Still have that blue end can on, am thinking of going for radiator paint as someone suggested, but haven't seen one finished to know quite how it'll look.

Hi mate good to here from you, i think the radiator spray paint would work (no brush strokes) but it would be nice to see pictures of how it covers.

cheers

BTW, thread now has most views and posts in SVTT&T
