polished swingarm

Post by dynamatiz »

well av been lookin at my baby once again and ponderin on what a would like to have done to her, been looking at the bcak end and av got a few scrapes on my swing arm, couldnt tell you what they are off, but they make it look untidy!

av noticed a cpl of bikes in the coppermine has had there swingarms done(polished) so has anyone got theres done and wondering if they could give me some info on doing it, such as did you do it yourself? or get someone else to do it ? if so how much did it cost and if done it them selves was it an easy job(cant imagine it been )

thanks

did mine myself mate, used nitro mors to strip it, then 3 grades of steel wool finished with some autosol, its hard work but worth it, personally now with polishing experience i would get a proper polishing kit.
