Motor before
Polished the fins more, and did a little gloss black contrast that I like.
Also polished as best as I could my original exhausts that came back from the plater who was unable to plate them.
I also made a fork install tool with threaded rod to thread into the fork to help...
Spent about 5 hours total sanding and polishing this hub. I'm not super happy with the way it came out. In my opinion it looks great at certain angles, and some spots it's swirly, with some light light pitting still visible.
I didn't take before pictures but this is how the front wheel looks...
Thanks.
Does anyone have any experience with having a muffler re-chromed?
Or with how a raw polished exhaust would hold up? He made it sound that it would instantly rust? I have absolutely no experience with anything steel and polished, everything I've ever done was all aluminum.
Thank you
So after a week in transit my exhaust arrived in Cali the chromer, only for him to tell me he can't do them. 110 in shipping :-/ He did say they could strip the chrome, and high polish the steel. Only down side is I would have to ceramic clear it. I'm kind of up in the air on what to...
Sent my mufflers out to California to get chromed.
In the mean time... Got some things finished on the bike.
Painted the parts couple of tiny dirt knibs I'll polish out, but other then that I'm happy with my color.
Started polishing the hubs, still have a lot of work to do with them.
Any peashooters or dunstall mufflers?
Anything for a nighthawk?
I'm also looking for cb77 stuff?
I have a few bikes so I'd be interested depending what you have.
Well bikes in pieces :)
I wasn't to fond of this finish, the poor rattle can job was starting to show. Not going to fly with me.
Everything was sand blasted, stripped completely of all material that was on them. I then blew then clean, scuffed with a scuff pad to take the excess media off...
Thanks for the responses guys, I was able to get in touch with Vince. He says his exhausts are unbearable for everyone else who rides behind him.
I've got a local bike shop he's an older dude in his 70s. I'm going to stop in there tomorrow when he's open, and see if he has anything.
Waiting...
