Looks good!

Thanks, I'm really happy with the way this turned out.

I like that! What is your technique to get that cover so clean and even looking?

 

[BluzPlayer]

VERY Nice!
Well done.
Don't see many with the brushed look.
Several threads on the site regarding polishing.
Perhaps you could make one demonstrating your technique for getting those results.
Unless it is a confidential long held family secret.
Will you be carrying that idea throughout the aluminum pieces on the bike or just the side covers? Do you have a build thread?
I find this very interesting.

I have the other cover to do so I will show how I did this, now I know what not to do and what to do

Thank you, I have always liked the brushed look on other bikes so had a go and its easy to maintain! I have a YouTube channel following most of my build, I will video the other case when I do that one.

Me too. It reminds me of Russell Mitchell's Exile Cycles work. I like a 0000 scotchbrite finish. While I'm on the subject, I have a scotchbrite wheel on one of my bench grinders and some days it's invaluable.
