Wow! Cracking pics... makes mine look awful :shock:
Off to collect my barrel for rebore this weekend - and bringing home some bits for polishing while I'm waiting for the engine rebuild. You've given me the incentive to put some real elbow grease into it. :-D

once you got it polished, its real easy, just a wipe over with autosol or peek and seems to keep it looking nice. The hardest part i find is keeping the wheels clean and polished. Especially in the winter you can't afford to get salt onto yer rims had my front wheel respoked last year as corrosion set into the spokes...

Still got a shed load of work to do to my bike to get it upto scratch....

check my list of upcoming work.....

Cheers Jak

Might consider giving mine a go to see how they turn out ..... rims I just whip over them with good old Autosol and they seem to come up great ... spokes all look in great nik as well. I also like the new breather thing you have fitted where did you get that from ?
