Like you lads. I thought they were steel too. I didn't know you could polish them up.

You can polish mild steel up to a mirror finish doesn't mean it will stay like that, put a magnet on it, if it drops off get your polishing mop out

Agreed with the steel thing. I once mirror polished the kick start on my 350LC prior to sending it for chroming. Came out fabulous!

Yes as everyone thought, mild steel on the R and RU model

, in the garage now with a magnet.

Not been on here for a while but thought I would post some pics.I finally finished the bike with only 3 days to go before I took her to Spain for 10 days.

The bike gave me some serious concerns before I left but I can honestly say the bike was amazing!! The power delivery and handling were a joy and I have well and truly fallen for this old 90's superbike.

There are some tweaks in the coming weeks like changing the headlights but I am glad I took a gamble on this old girl and gave her a new life.
