[QUOTE="tygerhawk, post: 181544, member: 11322"] Hey guys, thank you all for the recommendations! I just finished cleaning all the parts in my parts washer. Most parts will eventually have to be replated. At the moment I would like to spend my money on getting the bike cleaned up and ridable. I hear plating is pretty pricey now a days and I don't currently know of any places close to me (Iowa) that even do it anymore. I will look into replating next summer. I'm going to try aluminum foil and chrome polish on some CB550 parts I have and see how that works. I do have a bench grinder but its an 8" Dewalt that runs at 3600 rpm, is that too fast for buffing pads? If not, what pads should I look to buy? I see HF sells some 8" pads, I wonder if they are any good. Also, what buffing compound should I use with the corresponding pad? Im not currently home at the moment but I will try and post some pictures of the parts soon. Thanks again everyone! [/QUOTE]
