A shot showing the mirror like finish of the paint now. I love this paint on this bike.

Thanks for looking!
 
I used a Rupes mini for all the polishing with a blue 3" Lake County flat pad. I used Chemical Guys Metal Wax on the a lot of the chrome, along with S100 on the motor. I also used APC while cleaning the motor and other areas.
 
It looks fantastic, if we had good enough weather in Scotland I would buy a hog!!
 
Great job on a great piece of american steel. There is so much to these bikes that people who have never done them realize. Even more when you do full out customs. The end results are worth ever minute. Great job once again
