Yeah, Now if only they could make the wire wheels be as sturdy and easy as the diamond ez lock cutting wheel that would be nice.

I cleaned up and polished my handlebar controls this way with lil dremel brushes a long time ago, but it just didn't occur to me to do this to the engine. with larger brushes. the lower case looks pretty slick, so I'm going further. upper case is at a machinist's shop collecting dust...

I've been lookin all over for gun cleaning kits. no luck. but I just found a bunch of stuff on the sears website under 'tube brush'. HF is too far and I just ordered #$%* from them, don't wanna pay shipping again.

me and my gfriend are gonna ride on over to sears right now. got the day off. gonna polish up my cylinders. should be lots of nitpicky detail work. my fave. (not being ironic) I love this type of stuff for some messed up reason.

OCD? you tell me.

Well I just tried it with 3 of the 4 sizes that Menards had to offer, 1st attempt was with a 3" course brass wheel it ended up marring the the surface not happy and its right on top the header in plain sight, then I switched over to the the 5" fine brass wheel and I've been powering away at all the parts I can get to and it looks sweet....I think I'll go get some pics real quick...

Edit here's the photos, got carried away with finishing the wiring harness and testing the electrical system.

That looks real good, thanks for posting. Are you going to go over it with a fine polish too? I am going to start mine soon
