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 have an F4i that has a polished frame and rims (just the outter lip of the rims), was done with a dremel from the owner before me

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

Sure no problem. We do breakfast runs here almost every weekend, weather dependant of course, although we have ridden in sub zero temps as well.

Yup, I couldn't agree more. We didn't mean to. 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!
