Is that the original polished or an after market? I saw an aftermarket one somewhere...

Looking at the pic in your profile it looks like your swingarm is already polished. Was it necessary to remove it to complete the job?

Misato,

I just finished polishing my frame. I plan to pull the swingarm off to polish it soon. I did the frame polish without tearing the bike down. It has some difficult places to reach, but can be done. I need to post a pic.

Tim, do you any plans for sealer. Been checking out Zoop seal. http://www.zoops.com/zoopseal_media.Has any one tried the Zoop. I would like to attempt what you have done with the 9. It looks gooood! But, got to thinking of keeping it up. And of course getting off my collective a-- and start disassembly. }
I have new XB12R and why not have it looking good
too. It already runs like a bat out of hell.

Misato,

Here is a pic of my frame polished without taking the bike apart. The pic really doesn't do it justice though. But no sun today so I took this one inside.

How did you remove the black paint from you cases to do the polish?

looks good.
I've been using aircraft stripper. it usually takes 2-3 applications and a wire brush.
