small update

Was cleaning up th bike a bit..noticed teh silencer needed cleaning. Out came chrome polish. Polished all visible chrome parts

Next i saw the head. looked yuck pakka refurb maal decided to spruce it up a bit. So out came my HSF lapping kit!!!!

So...Comes out super strong acetone to remove all paint on the head...cleaned it... tried only Al polish...shined a bit, but had ugly spots see below...This is stage 1



Hmmm...now what? lemme lap the head hehehe

Noticed i was really short of 1200grit paper so did the lapping only with the 600grit. Here are the results took me 2 hours of non stop rubbing ooh my arm aches a lot





Here's the head under tubelight...was too dark by now...



The head has got just Stage 2 polish. Will do stage 3 polish tomorrow, stage 4 yet to arrive from USA
