Of course, I don't have a bench grinder with polishing pad, or a dedicated polisher, only a couple of drill attachments, and good ol' elbow grease. :) Trying to get the shine even is the challenge.
Cant' wait to attack the engine :)

The Polish
So the elbow grease starts... I decided to polish the fork lowers, and some of the crank case covers, for that, not mirror, but nice shiny alloy look.

The fork at the bottom of the pic, is as is, after stripping the paint off it. NB: Motospray Quick Strip, is awesome pressure pack paint stripper. Spray on, leave for 5-10mins, and hose off! I even rang the chemist at the manufacturer, and checked that it is safe for alloy. No problems there!
