Cool

How hard is it to maintain the look of polished items? Daily polishing? How does winter riding effect the look (Salt, cr*p, etc)

removing the anodising from alloy parts before polishing is a pain, I used oven cleaner / heat gun / wet and dry / etc., the polishers grind it off! Stainless exhausts polish up well

Swinging arm + other parts are on there way, becoming lazy in my old age!
