AWESOME Polish Job, Thanks Chris (o.c.f.rider)
19 Sep 2012 03:35
Special thanks to yet another KZR Member! I haven't been around here all that long, but in the short span, I have crossed paths with many fine, helpful people.
I received a PM a while back about the Project 650 I'm working on. A question about the swing arm modification that leon (531blackbanshee) did. One thing led to another and it turns out that Chris (o.c.f.rider) does polishing for a living. I decided to give him my fork legs and see how they turned out. I picked the finished product up tonight and damn was I surprised. When I saw them, I didn't recognize them. I though they were someone else's and even thought the damn things were chromed! Turns out they actually were mine. Hot damn!
I figured I'd post some photos, but the damn things are like mirrors and reflect the light and colors around them. My first photos sucked! I took photos in several places, with and without flash. They still sucked! You just cannot see how outrageous the polish job is from the photos. The product is just so much better than the photos show. But, here they are, without flash, which makes them a bit easier to see. You need something polished? Talk to Chris.

...they are amazing and like I said, the photos don't do them justice.
...I'm getting excited about this project. The frame should be done any day now. Can't wait to dig on in!

...not Cali!
...Lil' ol' New Jersey.
...about 20 minute from my house.
...nice little ride through the country side.
...the price, $150 for the pair. I believe the cost is well worth it, once you know what goes into it. It's not just a matter of buffing. There a lot of hand sanding involved that gets finer and finer. Kind of like a Earl Shibe paint job, vs a Custom paint job. It's all in the many hours of prep!
