Sportbike Polishing...how far do you take the bike apart?

[y2kgtp]

Just curious....I'm going to be doing a couple bikes in the near future and was curious if you remove the swing arm, or just leave it in place?

I did my R1 a while aback, and just pulled the rear rim off, and left the swingarm in place, but it was alot of work......all I used was a power drill (6" wheels) and sandpaper.....

I was looking at some easier methods, as most of the work is on the bike itself, and really can't be brought to a standing buffer........

I'd take it apart...

If you do a lot of this you might want to invest in a good flex shaft.
