Great looking bike!

Thanks everyone.

It was a tremendous amount of polishing to get the pipes to shine and I, uh, er, we worked hard on it. There was lots of rust and road grime but it hadn't pitted. The heat shield had been damaged in the fall but I was able to take a hammer and sand bag and pound it out. The shocks were a little tougher but the shield and springs came off so I could get the 0000 steel wool in there.

Here is a picture of the exhaust pipe cleaning process.

Yep, that was sure a long day.
