Charge pipe continues, disappointed at all the machine marks on this thing.....

This was obviously not meant to be cleaned. They left lots of tooling marks in the fabrication process:

Not sure if these can be sanded and polished out or not.

May have to PC it in Red.

It's like uncovering a master's painting under the canvas. :-) Or maybe not.

There is a PC that looks like polished alu and also one that>>>

like chrome when finished. A friend has a powder coating shop. There are lot's more color options than I had any idea there were. They do a good bit of the chrome looking powder on custom bikes that they build rather than spending the $$$ for chrome.
