Default Polished headers

I was told by some fellow Buell riders that polishing the headers will achieve a nice gold shine to these bad boys. So yesterday I went at it....and put aside real work...of swapping brake fluid.

Step 1. Wet Sand

Step 2. Polish

Step 3. Polish again

Step 4. Polish

Step 5. Ride


Here are a few pics. The 1st is un-sanded. 2nd is rear pipe polished. 3rd is both polished.

Haven't rode yet...but they should turn a pretty sweet color when I get some heat in them.
