Dremeled my side covers- what do you think? - PowerDubs_imp - 03-02-2017

Since it is too cold to ride, I do little projects instead.

This is the rough cut. I will do a little detail work and then hit em with some high temp clear coat. They will stay 'brushed'- not going for a mirror finish.

I like silver parts. Looking forward to seeing what it looks like on the bike.

That looks like it was a lot of work lol. Mine are covered in road grime and bug guts.

Side covers on my 1983 VF750F Interceptor looked like this!

I think I'd go over it with 300 then 600 grit wet sandpaper before clearcoating.

I think the 84-85 V45 & V65 Magnas and Sabers had that treatment as well
