    My R1 is bling blinging

    Finished up the frame and swingarm, waiting to get the body work painted. New tires, brakes, chain and sprockets she feels like new again!

    I remember when I had everything on my zx-7 polished: Frame, swing arm, forks, rotors, rims, rear sets, ect. It looks good, but I hope you have stock in Mothers polish to keep it looking like that.

    Thanks guys and girls, I hear that If you use mothers wax after polishing it helps keep the dirty and grime off the shiney parts. Anyways I'm looking to buy some stock in mothers polish

    Speaking of bling, has anybody had any experience with this stuff?

    Zoop Seal

    It's ridiculously expensive but it's supposed to protect polished aluminum for up to 3 years.

    Just think, with all that money you saved in landscaping, the polish is in the bag!!!

    J/K, looks nice, that's a lot of work to polish out a frame and swinger.

    Whoa....How long did it take???? I would take a gander at some where aroud the late teens or early twentys....thats hours
    That includes taking off and placing of the swing arm along with putting the chain and sprokets on which takes a gentle hand and guidance the last thing I wanted to do was put a huge scratch down the swing arm. Most of it was a winters project but then I moved and it turned into a summer project. Now I can ride.....N style

    Geez and I thought it looked great @stonnerstock
    You did a great job and you get a "ata Boy" for doing it all yourself instead of just signing a check and paying for it to be done
