The other night I spent an hour (finally) polishing my ram air scoop and rims. Granted, it was theraputic, but they are in only fair shape (front is better than the rear) and I'm contemplating the long term maintenance of a polished finish as I'm trying to reduce the number of 'things' that require repetitive maintenance, not increase them.
That said, I spent time every weekend polishing the aluminum bits on my '82 Honda CB900 Custom (first bike) and they came out looking great - and stayed that way. And I swear that after every time I cleaned/polished it the bike ran better! Has that happened to you?
Anyway - I do want to paint my bike and was thinking of extending my color scheme to the rims, but they're already polished. I've done some searching here and got some good info; any current opinions are welcome though.
