I am wanting to clean up the triple trees on my 79' I want to get rid of the speedo and tach mount on the upper tree. Will this weaken it at all? If anyone has any pics of theirs cleaned up that would be great.Thanks
Hey, I did this on my bobber.. My top tree looks like the one above. I used a angle grinder to cut the loops off, then a die grinder with a sanding disk to smooth it out, the 200, 300, grit sand paper, then 400, 500, 600 grit wet sanding, then polish with a polishing wheel and jewlers polish, then a hand polish. It's a lot of work, but in a couple of hours you can make it look like the above.
The bottom of the tree is steel, so you can't really polish it like the top.
