Does anyone have a set of instructions, or a good walk through link on how to plish bike parts i.e. Frame, Rearsets etc. ?

Thanks

Bob, thanks for that link!!!

Does anyone know of a place in the area that will have good prices on the polishing compounds etc.?

I already have the compressor, so I may shoot out to Harbor Freight or Northern Tool to check out the buffer.

Please tell me you are not polishing your frame like every other Busa rider out there does :rolleyes: Don't fall into the peer pressure.

Not just the frame....EVERYTHING!!!!!!.....not peer pressure, I just don't like the raw frame, and I am too lazy(scared) to take everything apart to get it Powder Coated/Chromed........ ;) :D

You are going to polish everything with the bike still assembled, good luck with that.

Don't be scared to take it apart, take digital pics, mark everything you can with a sharpie, bag everything, it's no sweat. Busas are simple compared to the smaller current-model jap sportbikes. They are 10lbs of shit in a 5lb bag these days, but busas are still big, straightforward, and have lots of room to work. Easy bikes to deal with.
