I think that to complete the "image" transformation you should install ape hangers and stirrups!!!!!

Gasmanrus,

Depends what you want to "Use" the bike for.

If you plan on showing it then go for it whatever floats your boat, i may get shot down in flames here but the post from weeveetwin actually shows a bike which looks good and would certainly win shows if that's what you want to achieve.

If however you still plan to ride it regularly then i think it would be a pain to keep in tip top condition. Resale value may be affected as well because not a lot of people would share the same desire for shiny bits the same as you. It may end up being a burden rather than a positive selling point.

Some food for thought there for you.

Regards

ScottyB

Weeveetwin's pic - its perfectly possible, and no need for constant polishing either!

Just get it anocoated chrome, then all you need is a quick 'wipe or rinse over' when you have finished riding.

Ask AK - his monster special takes him the least amount of time to clean, out of all the bikes in the garage. Rinse, wipe over & put away! The tonnes of stainless on his Lawson takes 2 days to get done properly, he doesnt clean the viffer

, and the turbo (which has had to be taken to bits for a refurb) took a while too.
