Been drooling over some chrome bits on e-bay (valve covers, hunbs,
etc..). Spoke with the guy who is selling the items, this is the last
of the bunch. He used to be a Guzzi dealer in the 70's (when it was fun
he said) and these are his last bits he found on a shelf in h is shop.
So the dilemma is, do I pay top dollar for these items or try and try
again to get my aluminum to shine up to look like chrome. I was going
to try the Wenol stuff recommeded by Chuck Sherman, but tossed around
the idea of just replacing these bits with the chrome pieces. Any
thoughts?

BTW, this guy said any m/c enthusiasts should stop by his museum which
has a full suit of old Guzzi's, some that he says are original and look
like they are right out of the crate, to include an old Zundaap and some
old Beemers, etc..... Guys name is Bill of BILL'S CUSTOM CYCLES 7145

Might be a good ride out to check out the museum when the blasted snow
goes away!
