    I cheat. I use tripoli on a buff wheel in a die grinder. It's brings them to a high shine with very little work/effort!

    I can't get over how much easier it is to start! 3slow prime kicks, press valve open and kick. Fires every time! Was able to get everything polished bolted back up.

    Had several hundred people taking pics. 30r40 came and asked me about it. People said "coolest sounding bike of event". It all went to crap when the crank/primary gear smiled and would not start bike. Pulled cover and used kicker gear to lock it in place and torque it for all I was worth, with a 10" creent(dang tool box only goes to 22mm! All in all it was a blast!
