This might end up being like Kas's flipper. Much too pretty to use :p

The one I have with that same finish, is in about the same condition that one was, yours came out really nice. I have my Flipper tucked away, out of my sight right now. I kind of want to wait till I really pay for it, before I really decide if I will use, it or make a display case for it. I will most likely use it, but need to get some white gloves to handle it, I also need to get some polish I read about some called Brasso, that a few people have recommended. :)

Okay I remember someone else talking about that also, and book marked. :)

I've heard it's not as abrasive as brasso can be. I like it cuz it's a tin full of wadding that is coated, rather than a messy liquid.

It never rains but it pours. The other day I traded one of my unloved Provari for someone else's mistreated unloved Rev 3 billet box. I have always wanted one. It arrived this morning so we started the revamp of it.

Bringing beauty and life back. Great job. I loved the wood panels you had made in the previous post.

ive got the same year and model,albeit she's a lil more worn than yours.nice bike for sure ya got there.great price too!i wont even say what mine cost back when....wasnt 5k though,awesome snag.ill bet its got low miles too,which is great cuz the evo motors run forever it seems.congrats!

Thanks Rick. 102K on the odometer, but clean as a whistle. And personally, I prefer the Evo to the twin cam

Any tips you care to share?

And folks: that brass is best cared for by simply keeping it wiped down, and hit it with a chammy regularly. Maybe some Flitz every now and then

Whatever you do, do NOT fall prey to the urge to clear coat. That ALWAYS causes more problems

I wonder what Mr.D.D. uses?

It's a new product.

It's called LBow Greeze. ;)


I have a cape code polishing cloth that works beautifully on all metals. Very simple


Same same. A bit smelly and messy, but nothing a good hand wash won't take care of.

Oh wow sweetie.........hope you have fun!!! But also hope you don't over do it!!

When vaping was new to me I wanted to go to one, never did....but now I don't really wanna. I don't do crowds all that well, don't want any of the stuff the vendors are selling..... However....if there was one really close to me......I'd go just to see how many vapers there are in this area!!! :)

I went to one in Green Bay. Was... interesting

If you've ever been to a gun show, picture that. Now, add a THICK cloud of vapor that sometimes smells heavenly, and sometimes just... smells. Change the people to a fairly young, fairly rude crowd. And cover the tables with nothing but Glock 9mms, with the occassional Smith Preformance center piece (and and the more occassional custom safari rifle)...
