Bead Blasting
So I just built myself a little bead blasting rig, since everything on this bike could use a good clean up. I'm wondering, I know most everything could be blasted, but what about the more polished looking pieces, like the points cover and the 2 round parts on the engine cases? (the generator and oil filter covers) They don't look horrible, but polishing them with Autosol isn't really making them look perfect.

Re: Bead Blasting
I use a bench grinder motor with buffer pads and buffing media for those parts.
