Default Polished Airstrikes

So they say that idle hands are the devil's workshop. Too cold to ride so I thought I would do a little polishing. Did all the bare aluminum on my 13 Street Glide wheels. Started with 160, then 340, wet sanded 400 through 2000, then a 4 1/2 inch cotton wheel on an angle grinder with grey polish and finished off with White Diamond polish/sealer. Not mirror polished but I am super happy with it. Going to polish the rotors before I put it all back together. I like it so much I think the back wheel is going to have to come off next!

Tedwilliams09, as a lifelong Red Sox fan I would gladly do a set for you for the low cost of a few beers and conversation about the Sox! The plate on my bike is "BO SOX".
