Re:Removed my belt guards 6 Months, 1 Week ago  
I just removed and trimmed the lower rear fender. Fellow wanted to see what it looked like so here is the link. I took it off completely but it exposed the rear shock and looked poor so I cut the sides of, sanded it so it was all black and stuck it back on.

I was lookin' at polishing my brake rotor on the rear but that thing is ferrous steel! Those of you who have done this, how do you keep it from rusting!?!

I polished the two flat faces on the pulley (I was lazy and did it in the lathe real quick) and it shines up like chrome. Now I just need to find some real fine sanding drums to smooth out the spokes.
