Mistakes, damn mistakes!

So, where I have I gone wrong so far. What can I tell you budding restoration guys out there? Well, it seems almost everyone in the USA polishes their triple tree and hubs to a mirror like finish. Wrong!!!!!!!!!!! Of course I followed their lead, having only seen polished parts. I bought a polishing machine and went to work. I was so proud! They looked like they had been chromed. I was the MAN! Not............. It was only after a bit more searching that I found out the finish was brushed, then coated. Oooops. To be honest when polishing the hubs etc I did have problems getting the tight bits to look as good as the bigger flatter parts, so I searched again on http://www.motorcycle.co.uk/ and found GS polishing in fairly nearby Kent http://www.gspolishing.co.uk/ . I have been lucky so far, another great job at a very reasonable price. Cheers Gavin.
