I cleaned mine up with carb cleaner. Took the clearcoat right off. You can
probably use an aluminum polisher to keep it brighter longer.

Well, that clears things up a bit. The cover is coated and one of my
co-workers removed the coating with a nasty solvent and polished it with
semi-chrome. Looks fantastic but you have to buff it often. He did his fork
bottoms too. If it doesn't leak, leave it on. Too much work.
Non-operational ? Does that mean you can't license it ? Bummer. That's
no way for a good bike to go down.

Dennis,
Thanks for the response. It was only to get the cover off to clean up
and polish. This bike has been registered "non-operational" here in California
since Dec. '99. The odometer shows 11,000+ miles and I have no idea if that is
correct. If it is anyway close, the engine shouldn't need any service. It did
run when I bought it. Guess I'll try to do the cover while still on the engine.
Thanks again,
Dick
