nicely done.. you do that by hand or machine? I take it you removed to polish or was it done on bike with a bit of masking up for spraying?

Hi all first i would like to apologise for the large photos they would not go any smaller.
 
I did take them all off and polished the heal plates with a polishing mop on a drill.
and the had a scotch brite cylinder attachment on the drill
 to take off all of the old lacquer on the side plates
to make them look nice and shinny, i then cleaned everything ready for
the new lacquer.
