Hi Neil,
Some may agrue about heat dissipation with chromed or painted brake
plates. But, unless you are trying to follow Ken Pitts around the track,
I think you should do whatever you like. I agree that polishing will
probably be the easiest to keep looking good the longest.
Maybe it's just me, but I think the brake plates are the hardest to
polish of all the "polishable" loop parts.

I'm looking at pulling the brake plates off the bike at the end iof the summer to change the shoes.. whilst they're apart was considering taking the oportunity to tidy them up a bit.. so whats the preferred finish, powder coated, vapour blast, polished or paint?? any pro/cons for any of those choices or just personal taste?? I'm steering towards polished as I'm thinking that either powdercoat or paint is going to get scratched/chipped whenever i remove/refit the wheel?? Neil |
