looks like you'll be doing more polishing than riding on that now ...

i do understand the appeal of polished bikes as i've had them, although they've always been naked and thus looking better than a faired when polished (just my opinion)....

i like my bikes usable nowadays regardless of the weather, road salt etc...

anyway it's your bike, enjoy it

Looks good so far, are you going all out and going to do the swing arm too? Or just stop at the frame and wheels?

How come your polishing it all up? Well what i mean is, are you going for the whole chrome effect or are your preping it for some really nice paint?
