Today i got my parts back from nickel plating, i decided to go for the plating over stainless because of price. I ultra sonic cleaned all the metals before the plating. I think they came out well and only cost 80 euros for the lot. But stainless is better!!
Finished polishing the exhausts yesterday as well. That autosol stuff is great, clamped my drill to the bench and used a polishing attachment set...

What tank are you using? Is that a monoshock one? Just wondering what you'll be doing with the wiring etc if its an earlier tank?

Looks like you'll be doing a thorough job anyway - keep posting updates please :)
