    Buffing cases

    Is something like this too wimpy? http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/cta...emnumber=94393

    They sell an 8" for $79. I did my secondary drive cover today by hand but 1000 grit paper was the finest I had on hand so it needs maybe some work with finer paper and some polishing. Actually looks fairly decent already compared to what it looked like before.

    2000 GSF 1200 Bandit (totaled in deer strike)
    1986 Suzuki Cavalcade GV 1400 LX (SOLD)

    I find working on my motorcycle mildly therapeutic when I'm not cursing.

      Persoally, I would go with the 8" model. It's a 3/4 hp, this one is only 1/2 hp.

      I am using an 8" wheel on my Craftsman 1/2 grinder. It does OK, but there are times I wish it had more power.

                  He posted some great info (the Escobar Polishing guy). I tried go to his site in case I ever want him to do some work for me, but it was dead. Anyone know if he's still in business?
