Sorry for the terse original reply... I thought others would chime in with more ideas. Serowbot

The case covers polish nicely if you use the right stuff and are motivated. I'll post better pix of my covers if you want to see them. If you want the chrome head cover pcs I'll sell you the ones I took off my bike, they look brand new.

I'll see if I can get some pix up later tomorrow, heading to work now. There was another member that had pix on here that got farther in the polishing than I did. Haven't had the patience to finish all the oxidized parts like the brake cylinder and some others. I USED to use a polish that I found at a gun show. It was a 3 part system and I believe it was called "heavy metal" polish. Haven't made the effort to find it since I ran out so now the best thing I've found is the Mothers billet polish. It's a small can and about 12-15$ but. I start off with a 00 or 000 steel wool and then polish away with the billet stuff.

That and dont try and crhome any cooling fins as it wont cool the motor worth crap and over heat... but the rest of it should be fine.
