engine case polishing

I ordered the silicone reducer from the same place and it worked great. I ordered 2.5 inch. I had to cut a 1/4 inch piece off the end and put it on the outside and it worked like a champ. SRY for thread jack.
Sure will.I run 2 of these and they are sweet!!Great product.I got clamps also and they are some very nice clamps and work great.
Yea,That should fit nice. 2.5 fits good on airbox side but too loose on carb side so i had to improvise and it worked good. Cheap prices there as well.
Mike,those cases will look sweet.I pondered the idea with my 240 motor and decided against it.I don't want to have to clean it in ever nook and cranny every time I ride.I have a hard enough time keeping mine clean now.lol Plus I have no patience for polishing.I do all my own polishing work and as good as I am at it I still hate it every time.lol I ended up powder coating the cases white in the botm bike and it has held up great and look great up close.I use a 3/4 hp buffer and that thing takes my fat ass for a ride.I can't imagine using a 1 3/4 hp buffer.Looks like I may have to polish the drag bikes cases as much as I am dreading it.Can't wait to see those finsihed pics!!
Nothing looks sweeter than polishing but its so labor intensive. I prefer glass media blasting and some good high temp clear for being the lazy way out , it aint quite as shiny but not to dang bad.
polished one case half today just need to do a luil more corner area work on it then ill get the other half done tommorow
Ever try a Dynafile with Scotch-brite belts. Gets the inside radius' real easy. Scotch-brite type disks on a angle die grinder & belts on a dynafile really cut the polishing time on complex surfaces.
