  1. Howdo!

    Can anyone tell me the finish on the 1000DS swingers? Anodised or lacquered?

    Cheers Pablo

  3. Me other swingarms polished and it's a right pain in the buttocks! Does look good mind.......
     
  4. you can have polished alloy clear anodised keeps 99 per cent of the shine and easy to clean
    or be subtle, powder coat same colour as the frame

  5. Want the same finish as standard if I can once I've cleaned up the snaggy bits :rolleyes: not a big fan of powder coated swing arms.
     
  6. get at it with a satinising mop in yer drill then
     
  7. What do you know about cleaning SB.. Looking at your 888 lol
     
  8. l'll have you know l had the fairings off today and jetwashed its underneithy bits:wink:
     
  9. I'm shocked!! I need to sit down!! lol
     
  10. Looking at my 888 swingarm it looks lacquered to me ?
     
  11. I'd say its a hard anodised finish over brushed. I've heard good reports of a metal re-finishers in newark notts A.J Caladine. A friend of a friend had a ZX7RR that some heathen had polished the frame on, A.J caladine managed to return it back to a factory finish.
