Well I have an 85' vmax and it is really old in some spots. One of the trouble areas was the master cylinders (clutch&brake). So Bryan had mentioned how he polished the caps so that they have a mirror finish (close). Basically you take a flat file and you grind the letters off except the Yamaha in the middle. You want to make sure that you keep the file level across the top as it will make it easier to polish up. Then you take a 300 grit paper. and you polish the scratches out careful to go in one direction. Then you take 600 grit and you go 90 degrees in the other direction and that will take out the 300 grit scratches. Then you take 900 grit and 90 degrees from the 600 grit you polish out those scratches. Finally you finish with 1200 grit and polish out the 900 grit at 90 degrees again. You can run some polishing cream over it and then its done. Takes a few hours but the finished product is worth it. Less maintenance to clean up in the future. Dale Walker used to sell polished caps for $$ but this is cheaper. Phil .............................................
