    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    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.

I love polished alu... learning as i go.
Good info in this thread :)
It's a lot of work, especially sanding out dents/scratches.
Hope i get my alu parts as nice as you and Steve.
Incredible finish on that swingarm, Renobruce !

That arm went on my 78 Skunk, which I no longer have. The ex wife and Eric Bang stole it in the property settlement. :mad: the S has a powder coated 1100 swingarm.

You guys do nice polishing work on your bikes. I ride mine too much in crappy weather in the northeast to keep up with trying.

I polished up these for my 85 750EF..A few winters here by the ocean has left them not so nice.The plan is to finish the 82 GPz then take the GS apart and do a roiling exhibit for my little PC business.
 
Now do you need to clearcoat those newly polished parts? If not, how long will they stay shiney?
