tank sides, this was the turning point to kick into over restore mode, they looked so nice I had to send every little nut and bolt out to get chromed, I know some wont like it being chromed but I used every factory OEM part that came off the bike to keep the original theme but brighten it up!

Just spectacular.

Tell me, what kind of paint did you use? And, the cases look soda blasted. Is that what you did?

. Ppg base coat clear coat don't remember the code but I can get it! Cases were cleaned in a ultrasonic cleaner using high heat mode and dawn dish soap, which works amazing, and I also cabinet blasted them with walnut shells and the repeated ultrasonic cleaning head and cylinder we're done the same way. Works well and give a little polished look not rough looking like sand blasting would, also no chunks of sand to hide in nooks and crannys Thanks for your complement! I'm tempted to post as she sits photos as it is stunning ( if I can say that about my own project ??). Lol
