Beautiful work Dude, tell me the secret to restoring the plastic parts? 8)

I scrub the fook out of it, then I use the toxic smelly hell that comes in a vintage can of colorback. I have had it out in the shed for 20 years at least. Probably banned nowadays and it's no longer on the market ;D

The good stuff available today based on what some mate's use is autoglym

Really nice work.
How did you restore your hardware? Blast cabinet? Tumbler? New plating?
My first post I followed this over from Bike-urious.com after seeing it there.
Would you please elaborate a little more on your technique? The results are fantastic. I have a Benelli project going on at the moment although it wont come close to this but I'd like to make a decent attempt at the hardware.
 
yeah, I was surprised to see it on Bike-urious.com when they sent me a daily blog update. I thanked them for posting it and sent them this link to the "before and afters"

The more detailed version of the resto is over at: http://www.2strokeworld.com/forum/index.php?topic=17070.msg128748#msg128748 there are a lot of peanut gallery comments etc. to sort through tho.
