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.Comment

Very nice, looks better than new.
Now get the stator and ignition covers done...

Polishing that unseen cover is almost as much fun as polishing the cam chain tensioner.
(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 whileOriginally posted by Steve View PostPolishing that unseen cover is almost as much fun as polishing the cam chain tensioner.

Actually the cam caps on Steve's bike (the GS) are, as yet, untouched.Originally posted by Flyboy View PostRumour has it Steve's bike has polished cam caps as well...
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.
The cam covers on my Wing are already chromed from the factory, so I just need to wipe them off occasionally.

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

Oh, you mean these guys.Originally posted by Flyboy View PostNo, 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.
They don't polish up very well, so I don't bother with them.

Thanks Syd. It was all wet sanding. I used 400 then 2000 I used the 2000 only because that's what I had. Then I used this stuff http://www.oreillyauto.com/site/c/de...0454&ppt=C0209and a polishing wheel for my drill like this http://www.autogeek.net/3-5inch-foamed-wool-pad.html
