    Not my cup of tea if it was just stainless great but I think anything polished always looks cheap unless it's street fighter or chop

    Looks alright but keeping it like that is a PITA.. I polished the frame on my CRF and you gotta polish it every time you use it to keep it looking like that .. May be a bit easier on a road bike thou

    Undecided. But it's down to personal choice at the end of the day. :)

    Local garage scratched the swinging arm on my 98 RRW

    they said they would replace it or get it polished

    so i thought get it polished - it will look shiney etc etc


    worst thing i ever did

    a bith to keep clean - and you have to polish it all the time to stop furrring etc


    stick with coated or brushed finish - much better

    Polished and lacquered would be my option, spent too many a weekend polishing my BBS RS,s to keep them bling..
    Now they're powder coated to save the sore hand syndrome..
