I work with a local indy Harley bike shop. I do maybe two dozen bikes a year with him..What I love about doing these bikes is the scissor lift and the ability to lift each of the wheels, you can really dial the detail in.

Looks good. Products used?
Mainly Poorboys World it`s all I stock for detailing.
I did use Semi chrome metal polish it`s about the best I`ve seen for polished aluminum.
Beautiful work
bikes always take extra patience to do it right. very nice.
That`s a lot of intricate detail to work with....nice job
Detailing a bike on a scissor lift is more fun than work :) Great job Beemerboy! Looks great.
I have to ask,, where did your handle come from? Mine is a combo of being a Trek fan and riding a Triumph. (road name Beamer)
I drove BMW`s for years love the cars, but they are not cheap to own..so today I`m KIA-boy LOLQuote:

Semi chrome or any good metal polish will work on stainless. Just stay away from any polishes or compounds that are designed for paint. They can have abrasives that might scratch the metal.Quote:
