Options 1)polish the aluminum and they would look real nice. 2)look for at swap meets 3) your independent shops may know someone who's got them laying around and for a good deal.
Thanks man. I'll get to polishing when I get her back.
I went by earlier in the week and almost vomited. She looked pitful there in the shop. No motor.....no nothin', just a gas tank. The boys in service said she'll be back home in a week.
.............If they are aluminum you can polish them with a buffer with 3m automotive buffing compound,this will take the heavy oxidation off .Rinse them off with soapy water ,let dry then use a terry cloth towel with Mothers mag wheel & alum. polish and rub by hand ,this will add more luster and is less aggressive .You can also use a 3/8 drill motor with buff wheel attachments ,which are available at parts house & Home Depot. If they are chrome you can try JIREHS CYCLES for new replacements .(best price i've found)
Good luck
Or send them to www.westcoastchrome.com Like I did mine and be happy and no polishing.. John does a great job and he doesn't charge you an arm and leg. Best prices over the net that I have found.And he stands behind his work too.
