My process only took 30 minutes, and soon I will be trying just grinding it smooth and not sanding/buffing it to a mirror finish. HAHA I should have taken a picture before, it looked like a piece of a SS exhaust tip.

Hmm...didn't see that you tried hydrochloric. That should have worked.
I think you will find that the smooth finish is desirable. It really has nothing to do with the etching itself, but the issue is, the details in the etched surface will not be very visible.

Any day on a motorcycle like this that ends just needing parts and labor is a good day.
