2006 VS1400 Cast Rims
Posted: Sun Jan 15, 2017 10:12 pm
I'll start this thread for the slow transformations taking place with my 2006 1400 Intruder
Some of you may remember that I purchased a set of cast rims from Bronx Intruder [emoji2] Well to say the rims were in bad shape would be an understatement, but I knew this & went ahead. By the time I had them in my grubby little hands I was into them for about $1200.00 USD or $1500 CDN.
Took them to a shop in town & had them strip the chrome which cost me another $300.00

Chrome stripped (notice the pitting)
Chrome Stripped
Polished (1 side)
Polished (1 side) small blemmish
Polished (1 side) small blemmish
Polished (1 side)
Only one side has been completed so far and this side will get at least 2 more compounds applied with the buffing wheel, once I get the other side completed started.
Since these will NOT be clear coated, anyone have ideas on the best way to keep the shine/seal the finish? I was thinking of applying a cpl coats of Liquid Glass (Eddie D used to swear by the stuff)
