KZ1000 rear sprocket cosmetics ? was created by KZmarcel
Hi all, 
my rear sprocket is off the wheel, cleaned and scrubbed up in Simple Green, and it currently looks like this.
Any thoughts on what can make it better ? Looks like it was painted steel and some of the paint wore off.
Again, I ain't going for concours glamour, but if there is a quick way to improve the look, I'm all ears.

    Maybe a fine steel wool.
    I used fine steel wool and sandpaper on my rear wheel, as it was quite dirty.

    I wouldn't worry too much about the rear sprocket though, as they tend to get dirty quickly.

    I plan on swapping mine out with an alloy sprocket but will probably do a 530 conversion at the same time.
