Hi there B_B and Bon Scott, that's an astonishing result. I wish I was up to speed on what polishing compounds to get. I would be happy to leave mine that way If I wasn't going for a hard core restore. Here are what I have. First are three discs for use with a drill. They are about 1 & 1/2" diameter. One is sand, the other two a Scotch Brite type scourer discs, one red, the other brown. The other is a drill mounted polishing kit for precious metals with three grades of polishing of 3" diameter pads and three grades of compound. I'd consider handle bars as precious lol.
Ahh, if only victa had kept producing the thumblatch catcher series, they would be in better shape today!
