I see a lot of pictures and a TON of work.

WhiteHendrix,

First off glad you got the bike back

On the polishing, punch the guy that polished it the first time, not babies. Though some kids need it these days.

WOW, the polishing you did is nice. I use the red and white sticks on my vette rims and it is a lot of work but looks like chrome when done. What did you use.

Nice job on the shifter to. You have some nice tools.

Keep on the project. Looks nice.
