Very well finished, love the black rim in contrast to the polish and stainless.
did you do the polishing yourself?
Well that's not fair... who doesn't love the looks of a drum brake?
Those chrome caps over the fork boots look pretty sweet

I ran the wheel for a few days this winter...

It's easy t9 do, if you have the time...
Wow. That's nice. Ton of work.
What do you put on after polishing to keep the shine?
I have been using a "clear sealer" paste but really the key is frequent polish with a rag and paste. I considered a clear lacquer, urethane, or poly but couldn't bring myself to do it. I work at a paint store and have access to all of it, but I don't know if that's a good way to go.
Someone here must have clear coated. Anyone have results?
I used Spray Max 2K clear on the polished parts for my '73 Honda TL125.
After a year, (stored indoors), they still look good. But, with the slight
caveat that it has developed a very little foggy discoloration. Have to look close
to notice it.
So I decided NOT to clear coat the polished parts on my '73 RD250 project.
Just my 2c.
