Duane, the owner of Cycle City, sent me pictures of the diamond cutting and powder coating that they had done for some customers when I was having my motor done. It definitely looks sweet. I decided not to have it done due to the extra coin. He sent me some pics of silver powder that looked great. I would go that route so there would be no more polishing. If you do the stage 2 or 3, you won't be disappointed working with Duane. He is a great guy.
