Polishing 06 hubs

(1/1)

JEREMYZDEAD:
Got a new set of 08 rim coming so I was wondering if it's possible to polish the hub to a mirror finish? The rim and spokes are going in the trash.

Danger4u2:
Yes, it just takes small Dremel like polishing equipment.  It would be a hard area to reach with the wheel laced up, to keep it looking good.

Friar-Tuck:
 Here's a few things I quickly found

  You will never be able to keep them polished. The first one will oxidize white before you get the second one finished. If you do polish I would clear coat them or have them clear powder coated. Most all aluminum that is unpainted on a motorcycle is anodized to keep it from oxidizing. It would look go though.

JEREMYZDEAD:
I've done the frame. Where I sanded it with 1500 grit and water then hand polished with mothers. It stays nice for a little while if you ride the mountain( I keep falling when it's muddy). I saw a polisher in Walmart which looks sort of like the mothers polishing ball which would work perfect oon all surfaces of the hub. @jfab if I would send you a frame, how much would it be to fab the mounts and such for the k5 to fit?
