I don't want to say how many hours I have in polishing these freaking things but after completing them I'm glad I did it. Now I hope they look good with the paint and all.

Sweet! That's what I want to do with my GN mags. I'm looking for an 18" rear at the moment too.

He didn't do himself any favors by blasting them first; the factory finish is damn near polished already! They may have been buggered up already though. Hard to tell from the pics.

They were pretty rough when I snagged them and I didn't really want to blast them but couldn't get the corrosion off them the other ways I had tried, either way I am happy.
As for powder coating...the non polished portions (other than the hub where the rotors mount) will be black. I haven't fully decided on powder coating them yet but there is a possibility if the place I found will be able to cut a decent price on the frame and the wheels.

They came on tons of GS bikes. My 79 1000 and 81 750 both came with them.

Well now this is just sad, I have the whole "its been too damn long since you last worked on your bike" notification while writing this. It's been a sad last few months for sure.
Since I got my new job I have been working 60-80 hours a week and unfortunately the bike got the back burner. Although, I was able to get some work done on it on saturday and hopefully will be able to keep a steady pace on it here moving forward. Main things I need to finish right now is the electronics pan under the seat, decide on relocating the ignition and mounts for the GSXR rearsets I am putting on.
I cut the seat rails to the length I wanted and capped them I think it flows pretty well with the seat. Then started mocking up the rearset mounts (no pictures on that yet but more to come).
