grey, then white, then blue to finish

you also might need a metal brush if you need to remove paint first

Cheers fella - how long did the polishin take ya?

it takes a while but you can get big dents and scores out, took me about a week, porbably 20 hours, but i did yoke and nut, petrol cap both clip ons, choke bracket, resevoir bracket, rear wheel and forks and fork tops, have got a polished swing arm too that needs going over, but im waiting for my chain to bein need of changing before i put that on,

doing the frame will take a while i was gonna do it but i have to swap everything over to my spare frame as i use the bike everyday and i cant find the time, dont even know if ill have the patience to polish such a large job

My NC29 was all polished up at one stage. I had both engine covers done, Frame, swinger, rims, Petty cap, yoke, rear sets, Clip ons, The lot.

Over time ive slowly replaced it all with black parts.
Only thing thats stayed is the frame/swinger and wheels.
The rest is now satin black. :)

Clicky

Is it wise to polish your yokes to a reflective shine?

You may find the odd flash of light in your eyes a bit distracting. Unless of course you live somewhere the sun doesn't shine?

Like the UK? :D

[monkey]

lol yeah no sun here so it doesnt matter :)

i havent had that problem, if your looking forward instead of down at your yokes you should be ok

Interesting. Makes all the non-polished areas look even worse though.
