Thanks, your bike looks great. I found something else that really works is Purple Polish Step 1 and 2. Is is cheap , about $25.00 for both from Amazon. This stuff work great. I did my complete engine in less than 5 hrs. Works on shining mirror finish and on the case alum of the block. Check it out. Ray |
