If you look inside the opening you can see the outlet that the nipple uses, a thin screwdriver or piece of metal can be used to poke it out from underneath. It's tight but doable, did this just the other day. How much are they charging for polishing that, it's not an easy casing to do, lots of recesses and I'd be surprised if you don't get it back with some dull areas.A really good polisher should be able to do it all and get it consistent, areas like the small part forward of the gear lever hole look to be contaminated with oil/dirt/grease and it's those that cause a lot of problems. If you look at it the surface looks blemished, like it has a small rash, that's the contaminants sitting just below the surface.
Thats quite cheap, have you seen anything else they've done?
I see Philpotts quote £100 to do a pair of fork sliders, which I thought very reasonable considering the amount of work involved.I've heard of £750 just to polish the barrels on a GT750. £130 for 3 cases is very cheap, I'd expect a poor job for that TBH but you never know until you try.
Might be a sooper dooper deal but just sounded a bit cheap. Either that or Ive had me skirt lifted

If you want a professional job, then send it to the professionals. Briteworx.co.ukTo achieve a pro finish you will need a motor 1KW minimum, a ton of mops , soap bars, lime and safety equipment. The part also needs to be in good order to start and most professional polishers vapour blast the part first to remove any corrosion and contaminates
