side casing metal

What metal is the right hand side casing made of?
Does it a have that clear hard varnish over it.
just finished polishing the rear wheel looking for another job.

I'm just in the process of doing this myself. I assume you are referring to the crank case cover or the other side? I think it is aluminium. I asked the exact same question the other day. As far as I am aware it is a layer of lacquer. It takes a hell of a lot of elbow grease to remove it though.

Ya the case over the clutch
I was thinking it was aluminium when I tried to clean it got no where.
I think you can use oven cleaner to remove the varnish will try it will my spare one

Yeah, I've been using an all purpose cleaning paste that is mildly abrasive. I probably need something a bit more abrasive such as an oven cleaner, as you say.

I got it from this web site.

Some tips there might help.
