originally i had a goal which my good friend Pat planted in my brain....a picture of a yellow sv in a streetfighter back issue....the frame were polished, swingarm, forks...everything but the yellow bits...then I decided it would be waaaaaaay too much bling, so i am trying for the modest approach instead, and adding more yellow insteadwith the bellypan and hugger and cowl. mmmmmmmmmm yellow

Polishing's a disease. Unfortunately it's a disease that can only be cured by more polishing. But on the plus side, once you polish a part you have to do it again, and again, and again, so you'll never run out

If you like shiny, and you have a bit of a budget, aerocoat's chrome powdercoat is pretty fantastic.

nope, polishing the rims, i have them on the other bike and i prefer them. Its actually easier to polish them every wash, the muck doesn't look too bad when it covers them, I think painted wheels look worse when they're mucky.
