... and I thought I was the only OCD guy who chucks up bolts in a drill press to polish the heads :)

NICE!
NICE!
did I say NICE!
yep NICE!
Its just so clean and looks good. Sure it not correct but so clean.
Makes me want to get back on mine and clean it up.
But after ridding it every day well it looks used.
Nice!

Very nice, is that touched up a bit with photo shop? or is the view port for the chain by the kick starter not on your bike?

Anyone have a clue what it costs on average to polish the side cases like on this bike? Looks waaaaay better than silver paint!
