Whoops! Made more work for myself!

[Chaharly]

Hey guys! I needed to get a new clutch cover for the 88 and i figured since I'd have it off the bike I'd hit it with a fine brass wire wheel. It turned out great, and really pops on the bike.... That being said I now have to do the rest of the motor, because it sticks out like the only non sore thumb on a totally broken hand!

Yup! A lot of us have been down that road!

Now that it is polished keep carnuba wax on it to keep it looking great. I did the passenger floor boards on my 02 RSMV fifteen years ago and they still look like chrome.

Oh boy...I think you just made more work for me too! I need to do that for my 89!

 

Thanks! Grins!

A buffing wheel and some polishing compound on those aluminum covers behind the passenger pegs will really make em zingo too .... Personally though,,, I still prefer the left over salt from the Bonneville Salt Flat/Georgia Red Clay/smeared bug/sticker approach

 

Speaking of making em pop,,, I was out diggin for parts for a buddy the other night and noticed a still in the OEM package little "1300" sticker that goes somewhere on one of the MK2's.. Thinkin it was like 1/4" wide by 1" long,,,,,, maybe sets into a recess on a side cover somewhere??? Anyway,,, if any of you lop eared varmints are looking for such a thing for a restore,,, let me know and I will dig it out and mail it to ya! I would use it but I still ride the 1200cc's cause they are faster

You got my curiosity up so I went to the garage and looked at my 89. The only 1300 stickers I saw were on the plate that Charharly polished and the one on the other side of the engine. but they are a little bigger than you described.

Sorry it took so long,,, just like little Joey in The Family Circle going to get the mail and coming back 3 hours later, only in my case it involved a Poppa Johns Pizza

 

Anyway,,,,, YEP,,, YOU got a good eye Sky!! I wayyy under estimated what I thought I saw size wise:

[BlueSky]

Mine are in good shape but someone else will probably want that sticker!

Yep agreed, and then when they are all polished, finish them with some Classic Cloth to keep them that way.
