Pulled my levers from the tank today and they are ugly. I will try the polishing wheel on them, but does anyone have a source for quality chrome levers for the R5/Drum Brake? I checked out obvious vendors, didn't see anything "great"...

Those should polish up pretty good
yeah polish them, for sure. dont think anybody made chrome levers for an r5. might want to look at xs-1 stuff, -might- be an option there.
They did polish good....

Those levers look really nice
