    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    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.

What's up Gang?

Has anyone with the gsxr front end set up ever polished your forks? If so please let me know what materials and tools I would need.

Thanks, Supavert
 
There is a different polishing thread at least once a week. A member here has a polishing business and has posted lots of good advice. Try the search function to uncover LOTS of appropriate information.
 
The 92 gsxr forks have lots of ridges & machine marks in them so if you are after a perfect polished finish be carefull you dont got too far & make the forks undersized for the yokes EG do the minimum work to get the shine :)
 
I posted a thread on polishing here: http://www.thegsresources.com/_forum/showthread.php?t=136634

There is another one for real rough finishes, just look at my posts and you'll find it.

If your forks have alot of casting marks or factory brush lines, you'll need to start with greaseless compound #240 grit, then #400, found here: http://www.caswellplating.com

If you need any tips, just pm me, and i'll be glad to guide you. Don't worry so much about the yoke clearance, it's an easy and invisible remedy after polishing.
