| Such as what would you not do again. |
| Color schemes - Original or custom? |
styled paint job will market to a wider audience than a $2000 custom.
| Paint stripping - Has anyone tried dipping the fenders, tool boxes, side covers? |
for gloss and to preserve the factory pinstripes. Tool boxes, side
covers, fork shouds and headlight, I had powdercoated and then applied
the appropriate decals.
| Re-chroming - What are the pros and cons? |
when new. IMHO much better quality when the aftermarket does it(show
chrome) vs a production chromed part. A chrome shop is expected to turn
out perfection or it is returned for another try.
| What is the most effective way of cleaning the cases? |
liquid mag wheel cleaner for cast wheels (B). It will remove (eat) the
shine off any polished aluminum parts....BEWARE!
