    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Wow big difference! Do you plan on doing the rest the same?
 
I am not sure yet. But maybe. I know I will just wash the valve cover because its painted.
 
Very nice, looks better than new.
Now get the stator and ignition covers done...:D
 
Polishing that unseen cover is almost as much fun as polishing the cam chain tensioner. :D
(And makes just about as much sense. :-\\\)

true, but when you are bored at work and you get paid for doing it while you are there then it kinda makes it worth while
 
Rumour has it Steve's bike has polished cam caps as well...:-\\\;)

Actually the cam caps on Steve's bike (the GS) are, as yet, untouched. :p

However, the cap caps on Mrs. Steve's bike speak for themselves:

By the way, the cam chain tensioner shown earlier is also on HER bike. :cool:

The cam covers on my Wing are already chromed from the factory, so I just need to wipe them off occasionally.
You can see them by clicking on the link in my sig. :-\\\

No, no, no Steve, I was talking about those little half circle things with the four bolts, labled A B C and D that hold those stick things in the top of the head in place, under the valve cover.:rolleyes:

hahaha, it's all good Steve, we just mess with ya, 'cause we are jealous:D

They don't polish up very well, so I don't bother with them. :-\\\

Nice job bakirkwold - what was the process? Various grades of wet and dry paper, a polishing wheel? Both?
 
hahaha, yeah Steve, I figured as much, the scary thing is, you can whip up a shine in half an hour that takes me days to come close to.
