Wow, 2 sisals eh

? forget what I said about spending more time with a sisal lol. I wish I had some pics of the covers to show you, but I already returned them to the owner, never thought to take pics of them. BUTTTT......I guarentee I will have another set coming to me soon enough, always got something Harley laying around. Well, tell ya what, if you have a sandblaster do this. Pic a spot or better yet, tape off a spot that you can sandblast and see if it flakes off, know what I mean? If there is chrome on that badboy it will flake and leave little silver metallic flakes on the surface. If it doesn't flake it would be just dulling the surface, but you may have to stay in that spot for a bit depending on your compressor. Mine takes only seconds, but then again I blast with 100psi and my compressor puts out about 26scfm. I said tape it off so you will get a localized area to compare to a unblasted area. Besides that I don't know what to tell ya, have no problems here, I do however know that some are chromed an some come polished, looking at brand new ones now in V-Twin.
Actually thought of something else, doesn't Caswell sell buffing kits just for chrome

?? I don't know what it consists of but maybe you may wanna look at that first before you blast that thing.
