To polish or not to polish
I want to give my Tiger a nice cleaning this spring before a local meet and my ego really wants to win one trophy with this bike. When I restored the bike I polished the prinary cover and outer gear box cover but not to a mirror finish. I was told that the bikes didn't come out of Meriden like this so I tried to keep it as "factory correct" as possible.
What is the consensus among you guys about this? I ride this bike. It is not a trailor queen. The exhaust pipes have a little blueing so the bike isn't a 100 point show bike but the paint is immaculate and the resto is correct. All parts cad plated as they should, etc.
How should I clean up the aluminim? I was just going to clean it off and use some SemiChrome to bring out the luster. I'm not taking the stuff off to put it on a polishing wheel, so everyhting will be done by hand.
Any hints, advise, how to's?
Thanks
Peter
