CB500 casings .... bit of a polish

<< < (3/3)

Oddjob:
Typical damage to the alt casing, I wonder though why he takes close up pictures of damage but not of the same area after he's polished it. I know how difficult it is to get rid of that type of damage so I'd be interested to see if he's got rid of it totally or just disguised it somehow.

He did warn that it may not all come out after measuring the casing thickness at that point - TBH the casings weren't the ones I purchased as I was careful to pick from the sellers best - shock horror I didn't receive the best

I pick them up Monday so can take any pics you want

SPR:
Just thought I'd update this now I've collected the casings and actually managed to get them fitted .....

The pictures / videos were before they were packaged for me to collect - here is where it slightly goes down hill .... they were wrapped in the same oil covered bubble wrap as they arrived .... this then had put a bad layer of oil film on the clutch cover and even though I was assured it would just wipe off - it didn't and nothing I tried made it better.

So hence why it looks a lot less shiny than the other two covers below.

Some corrosion is still eveident (more so when I waxed them ) on the underside of the chain cover case - but this can't be seen easily.

Bottom line is - slightly disappointed that the hard work was somewhat compromised by reusing packaging but they are still 100% better than those that were fitted and better than I could have acheived
