How do I get rid of 'em? I've tried various sizes and thicknesses of spiral and loose cotton with emery and it ain't workin'. The smallest wheel I used was a 6", do I need to go smaller? Dremel tool? Your help would be greatly appreciated. Later on.

I was sanding on some parts a while back and I stumbled across a box of steel wool with detergent already mixed in and was surprised with the results. I don't remember what brand and I know the grit wasn't anywhere on there cause I looked, but it was pretty fine. I think my wife picked it up at a $1 Store because it was in a generic looking box. I guess I'll be getting some more. One question on the bobs. Should I use a firm, or softer felt, or does it matter? Thanks for the reply. Later on.

I have a few bobs and facer buffs, I'll give it a shot. Loose cotton and emery works pretty good. I found the steel wool/soap pads at the g-store, 15 of 'em were a whole 96 cents. Later on.

dont feel bad chuck my bike got tore down just for jug and head gaskets and turned into a full repaint it came apart in oct 04. i am just now getting all the pieces back from paint. i let the local college paint it for me to give the students some experience in flames and marble work. also the fact that the only cost incurred by me was for the paint.

I haven't done the swing arm mod yet because I'm not sure if the stock wheel is wide enough. I'm getting conflicting stories from people. If that's the case then the swing arm mod will be waiting until the winter. I got a new seat ordered for it last night so it will be here some time this week. Next will be new carb's and maybe high compression pistons. I'll post some pictures when I install the swing arm. I've even thought about tearing it down and powder coating the frame again this winter, dunno yet. There's a new "monster" due to arrive in September that will determine what I'll be doing for a while. Later on.
