I just bought an  aluminum polishing kit @ Harbor Freight.It costs $20 and well worth it saves plenty of time compared to the wet sand method. Il post some picks soon.

I don't know 'bout the forks, but I Honda painted most of the aluminum.

After wearing out my drill I got a 5 inch bench grinder from Harbor freight and put a polishing wheel on it.  Spent about 2 hours doing my lower forks last weekend and they look great.  I have also have done the covers on my cb550 engine and it is looking real sharp.
