    nitromores them 1st then start with 400 wet and dry(plenty of water) and work ya way up to 1200, then polish with autosol, then ya may have something like this!

          I like it as well..If i can add any suggestions to the list and not sound like a jerk..You should get rid of those blinkers..Maybe do dougs integrated kit on the tail and get some low profile ones in the front. You're bike looks really clean right now and i think the blinkers kinda muck it up or give it a more old school look.
          Looks good though.

              about 3 hours a piece but they were a lot worse than yours!
              the paint stripper removes all the old laquer and gets the dirt out, but if they are badly pitted then a lot of elbow grease is needed!

                Get yourself some bar-end mirrors... that'd look great.

                  I do like the dual headlights - what are they from?
                  and where did you hide the wire nest that was in the bucket headlight?

                  I am about to start polishing all of the metal on my Hawk - not too difficult - just time consuming. You just wet sand the parts to a shiny finish and then I put polishing wheels on my grinder polish away!
                  It is best to have the parts off the bike.

                    I got the head lights from a Bike shop here in Ireland.. but you can get a set anywhere www.demon-tweeks.co.uk sell them cheap enough.. as for the wiring !! I had to cut and join them.. with a load of black electrical tape.. unless your really looking you can notice it..

                      If you put in UniPods, I'm told you can fit the excess wiring up in the airbox cavity underneath the tank. At least that's what I'm counting on when I put in my Aztec8 duallies.

                      Those are "Dominator" headlights. And they look the mutt's nuts, don't they? Nice touch.
