I am at this stage with my 851 reno, I think the swing arm has been stripped, I need to try and check (it looks dull). Now looking for someone to re anodise. If you diy it, check how long to leave the stripper on and I think all carbon steel parts need to be removed, there were some thread inserts in mine. To be honest for the small bit you have I would be tempted to polish it up and try and blend it in, but it's your choice. Cheers Gaz
I had a play with the scotchbrite and wet,dry and very pleased with how it came out, did bother lower side rails only and won’t be getting it coated should save me around £70,
good effort, looks nice, it may dull a little over time, perhaps a wipe of ACF50 or similar every now and again may help.
I did the same and applied several layers of high quality wax polish. This stuff. https://amzn.eu/d/d5fkINx
I had great results on my Aprilia RS250 frame using clear cerakote over the polished surface, it looks very similar to the original bright anodised finish
It's a great way of sealing whatever finish you decide to go with, unfortunately raw aluminium tarnishes fairly quickly and needs regular polishing to keep looking good
Powder coating all done. Had a cerakote finish on the yoke first time I've had an item done in that finish and will be interesting to see how it fares.
