Chuck Posted November 16, 2020 Share Posted November 16, 2020 6 hours ago, Tinus89 said: Yes indeed, the tank is big. I don't mind. Keep in mind the goal is a scrambler (less need to look fast compared to a cafe racer), it does not yet have shocks installed (yes to fotoguzzi, I will add shocks) and no fenders & exhausts yet. Also no carbs & filters. Adding all those will add to the body of the total bike and make the tank look smaller again. I'll update once I have those installed with another picture:). Thanks for the tip on ACF-50, I'll buy that. Also maybe nice to share: rate my u-joint. Discovered upon removal of the rear swingarm, did not notice anything during driving.... That'll buff out.. but if you would want, they are rebuildable. Cheap. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Already have a new one installed. The old one was damaged beyond the outer races of the bearings and I did not want to try and resque it with the risk of hairline cracks or anything like that...

Tinus89 Posted November 18, 2020 Author Share Posted November 18, 2020 So the front fender is brushed aluminium, which I like. The rear one is rolled aluminium. Any idea how I can get the surface finish on the rear fender close to the front one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docc Posted November 18, 2020 Share Posted November 18, 2020 Take "ScotchBrite" to it? It comes in various grades, like sandpaper . . . 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
