Just a bit of sanding/polishing
There's been this spot on top the stator cover where the lowers of the Pacifico fairing I used to have kinda touched which created sort of a big booger lookin' spot. So, I decided to test my sanding and polishing prowess on that spot. So, I got out the 220, 400 and 2000 grit paper and went to work. Then followed up with some 3M rubbing compound I have. Came out pretty good. Can be better I guess with some proper polishing techniques, since it was all by hand. But, I guess I'm less hesitant about tackling all the covers this winter though.Current Bikes:

I'll take a pic tonight and put it up, but it's only one little spot. Didn't think it was worth the trouble.
Josh, thanks for the offer. Will do. I'll give you a shout when I'm ready.Current Bikes:
