The casings are chrome plated, as many other parts. I restore my Z as a "custom light", and some guy don't like all that chrome. But our bikes back in late 70's was often built like this, and I want to have my personal look on the A4.

Obr,

Yep, that 900 looks fantastic, does the engine have to be completly striped to vapor blast? I have a Z1B with 9000 original miles so although I'd like my cases to look like that I really don't want to strip the engine.

Has anyone got anything that is just as nice that works for a black engine?

I am working on a ST and although I have cleaned the original finish, if you rub to hard its easy to take it off. :roll:

Thanks
Nick.

Hi QuickNick

Yes, I'm sorry

You have to strip completly to do the vapour blast. Because it's dust of both sand and glass

The guy that do the blasting for me do a really good job by cleaning the casings, but I do the last cleaning my self before mounting :wink:

The bike's looking realy nice Obr, keep the pictures coming

the light custom look is just right a few little bits to polish but enough of the original Z look for the standard fans :clap

keep up the good work.
