I do not polish them, on that part I was being completely facetious.
I remove the casting marks and blatant imperfections, and smooth it out from the carb to the valve guides and leave the rest of it mostly rough to eliminate (or reduce) laminar flow / induce turbulence for better atomization / my dad's an engineer and he says it's not a triple so no worries.


But I freely admit I'm am shooting wildly in the dark. I have no real idea what I'm doing but it's a poorly-built Chinese 450 single so I'm not worried about altering flow values. :laughing
 
I don't really have much experience here but I'd leave em a little rough. Drag racing is a totally different ball game from just about every other form of combustion driven racing
 
I ordered a huge box of bolts so I can put the drz plastics back on. I think I’m going to take it to the shop and see what it will take to get it safe. Or at least not a death trap. It runs great. But the front forks are visibly leaking, the rear shock is non-existent, and the brakes don’t work. Other than that it’s solid. :LOL:
 
I had a beer. Not unhappy. :dunno

cleanliness next. and I'm also oh-so-slow on the bike.
I power cleaned my room Saturday. Bathroom and my office, too. (The wife cares for the rest of the house)

I’m enjoying the fruits of that labor in the form of a clean bathtub that I’m soaking in. I just put my down comforter back on my bed. The cold is coming.
