Here is the link to the polishing thread.

Well after going for a ride on the Fury for the first time in a week I was about to put her in the garage whn a idea popped into my head. I was standing there looking at the front of the bike at all the shinny pieces when my eye just kept going back to those two big dull fork tubes. Now I am no stranger to polishing things, I polished my frame and various other parts on my hayabusa one winter and that was no easy task. Anyway I grabbed a 4" buffing wheel, some white rouge and tried a spot on the very bottom to see what would happen. Low and behold after just a few seconds of polishing a shine started to appear on the tube, so the answer is YES it will polish. I also tried a little spot on the wheel (can be seen as a white spot in the 2nd pic) and with some stiffer polishing wheels I have I believe they will polish too but that might be a winter project, I havent decided yet. It seams that the finish on both parts might just be some sort of spray coating with will make the job so much easier.
Sorry for the crappy cell phone pics, I will get better ones when finished. You can see the large spot I managed to get in a matter of a minute or two...
The black spots on the wheels are polishing compound from the buffing wheel.
