| Re: hi.  ....when i bought my 929 it had the frame and wheels already polished. A guy in my town does it for most people. I know it involves fine grit sandpaper and alot of buffing and compound. |

| Re: hi.  I am in Horsham West Sussex. There are plenty of places that will do it for you but you can polish a frame with a buffer and rubbing compound and some spare time  |

We do breakfast runs here almost every weekend, weather dependant of course, although we have ridden in sub zero temps as well.  |

We met up one morning, it started out OK, but we rode through a valley carpeted in freezing fog. My leathers were covered in ice and I couldn't see bugger all through my visor - and its a pin lock job!  |
