Never seen a highly polished cover issued for the DREAM by HONDA. ................lm

I stayed a bit on the brushed/light polished side instead of going full-on mirror polish. Anyone have an opinion on that? It's easy to go more polished, but not as easy to go back.

Would you say those finishes are correct then, or too polished?

All depends on the owners preference some people chrome them to match the rest of the chrome but I'm sure they were satin finish from the factory even lacquered.

Then I think you should put it back in storage for another 50yrs it will be worth a lot of $$$$ to your son.
