ATER DOING THE FRAME ON MY ZX-11......I WOULD PAY SOMEONE TO DO IT RATHER THAN DO IT MYSELF. IT'S DIRTY NASTY STUFF.IF IT'S A REAL SMALL SECTION GO AHEAD AND GIVE IT A SHOT.....OTHER THAN THAT...PAY SOMEONE ELSE TO DO IT  |

You get what you pay for, 600 for a frame is not bad considering material and time. There is an art to it, a little more so than strip and rub. But it also depends on how nice you want the finished product to be and how long you want it to last.  |

hey 02gsxr600, I know a guy that used to do polishing all the time. He is a member on here and a good friend of mine (Lisa's cousin) He lives in Alexandria I will get ahold of him and see if he would do your polishing and how much he would charge. He does great work! Let me know if you want me to check on it.

don't do it! worst thing i ever did to my bike. if you don't ride alot or in all weather it won't be bad. if you USE your bike for transportation. it will drive you nuts with the constant oxidation and repolishing
