Default Polished frame

I got that wild hair in the *** a few weeks ago and decided to polish my frame. What do you guys think? Pimpin, thanks again for the advice. It was hard work, but it paid off in the end.

Fellas, the stock front turn signals wasnt by choice. The Army says I must have DOT approved turn signals. Dont bust my ***** too bad. I was thinking of getting some rizomas, they wouldnt know the difference,asl ong as they werent flush mounts.

Also, I just installed the red Galfer Steel Braided brake lines on the back. I'll probably do the front next weekend. Either way, I was just wondering what you all thought about the work/changes. +/- feedback welcome.

once you get it polished out to were you like it, seal it with a product called Zoop. It will keep it looking nice for years.

Thanks for the compliments felas, as well as the recommendation Playfulgod. I will look into the zoop. As for the brake lines, it was easy as hell to install. The hard part is the bleeding. I bought a mityvac, and it helped, but I think i stil have a little air in there. I plan to bleed again untilI get it right. I havent done the front yet. It comes with 2 lines, so I just need ot figure out how I plan to run them.

I got another wild hair. After polishing the frame, something seemed a lil off looking at the part of the frame that the Sliders attach to still painted. I didnt want to polish that part because it would be too hard to maintain, being under the fairings and all. So.....I stripped them and started prepping for paint. Trying red, pics soon to follow.

Here it is. Dirty, and before removing smudges from frame. Slight overspray on the wires, but I will remove. Feedback?
