CB500 casings .... bit of a polish

(1/3) > >>

SPR:
So I picked up a spare set of casings for the bike with a view to polish them and swap them onto mine .... the existings ones are good but suffer from staining and corrosion.

Quickly realised I had neither the tools / knowledge to do them myself and when Julie suggested Briteworx (Harry) who was fairly close to me I took the plunge.

Dropped them off and had a good natter with Harry who didn't give a turnaround but said if he needed a change of scenery from some of the very intricate bits he was doing they may get to the top of the queue !!

Fast forward to today and I got the call they are ready and pictures to boot - got to say what a fantastic job - the cases provided weren't the greatest and have come up better than I could have possibly hoped for - the bike isn't a concourse example and never will be it is rather nice and these will only enhance it.

These are quick video links of the after polishing ..... not sure on quality as I'm not really social media savvy :)

Laverdaroo:
I'd be super chuffed with that, they look splendid. Well done... 8)for the bling

Nurse Julie:
Fantastic work, they look great Simon.

Oddjob:
Turned them round quick. Looks to be a good job.

Cost? I presume this wasn’t the £130 quote?

Matt_Harrington:
Fabulous finish and in all the nooks and crannies as well! If you intend to leave 'as is' I can recommend Microcrystalline wax.....
