     Thanks guys, I've gotten some pics back from some stuff I polished for 10PSI (Dennis).  I did his Generator Cover w/ Yamaha insert, the Clutch Cover Disk, and his Front Pulley Cover w/Wagon Wheel, the rest of his stuff is chromed.  I'm just going to post a link to the photobucket account, after I get them resized I'll change out some of the ones in the first post.

    Take a look and let me know what you think.

    Those fender stays look awesome!

     How much to buy them outright? Or could we do a deposit deal Via Paypal?

    Shoot me a PM bud!

    I don't have any stays that I could sell all that I have is the core set, that I got from Independant Lemming and when I get to go back to work someday, they are going on my bike.  You could always just buy a new ones from Yamaha for $285 ea. and I could polish them or you might get lucky and find a used set.  But why not take advantage of the exchange program, it's free.

    Randy, 

    My stock answer for everything is about a week, but as everything seems to be taking about a week and a half to get done, give me 2 weeks max for triple trees.

     Hey Guys,

     

    I want to show off my bike too Cool

     

    I had the "Yamaha" Cover, Clutch Cover Insert, Front Pulley Cover and Wagon Wheel polished by Joe. They all came out awesome. The shine is just as good as my other chrome pieces. Here some pics of the bike.

     Here is a pic of the 3 covers up close

     And this is the pic of the polished  Front Pulley Cover and Wagon Wheel next to the chromed belt covers.You really can't tell the difference what is polished and whats chromed.

     

     

    I am really happy with how everything looks, and I think the left side looks pretty killer Cool I need shades just to look at it!

     Soon as Randy and I start swapping parts I will drop a few pieces off for your core exchange Joe. (Alt. Cover, middle drive, Comp. cover and cam. cover) Plus my front calipers for me.

    Hey Man,

     I was looking through Ebay and saw Item Number 120401163764.  I know funds are low but this made me think of you. CHeck it out.  Bunch of covers for $20 so far.  Might be worth the watch.

    is that reflecting the blacktop?

  • 04-07-2009 12:46 AM In reply to

    Re: Polishing by the CADFather

     yeah, all those pieces are just like a mirror. They reflect everything, the bike was angled down, so you can see the reflection of the pavement. Should have put the bike straight

    Re: Polishing by the CADFather

     Roger thanks for the heads up  on the ebay auction, I can't afford to buy it, but thanks for thinking of me.

     

    Arkansas Warrior:

    is that reflecting the blacktop?

    Yep that's the asphalt reflecting in the polished surface, the parts that are in the ad in page one are those very parts before I shipped them to him. 

    ============================================================================

    Loren, 

    Those fender stays look mighty good on there, you can thank Independant Lemming (Scott) for those, they were the ones he let me have before I knew if mine were bent or not.  Although they didn't quite look like that when I got 'em.

    +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

    Scott, 

    If it'll clear up on the weekend I need to come up and get the polishing compound from you and if we time it right I could get your calipers the same day as well as the other parts.
