RC418 Posted April 23, 2011 Report Share Posted April 23, 2011 Going to be purchasing a new clutch cover and possibly other accessories for my banshee, I've got a chrome clutch cover now which still looks as nice as it did from the day I bought it. Looking at new clutch covers I could get a polished one for about a 100 bucks less. What would you get chrome or polished, and why? I'm leaning more torward the chrome as it should require less maintenance, I don't really want to polish the side case after every ride to keep a nice shiny finish.I've just never really had much experience with polished stuff so thats why I ask for your opinions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
06specialedition Posted April 23, 2011 Report Share Posted April 23, 2011 I would stick with whatever is easier to maintain. But its all personal preference Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WINDYCITYJOHN400 Posted April 23, 2011 Report Share Posted April 23, 2011 Chrome, I hate polishing...My bike is going back together with all parts either painted, chromed, anodized, or water transfer....I'm all about low maintenance this go around. X2 - I had every aluminum piece polished, then got it al Clear Ceramic coated to keep it that way. problem is, the ceramic coat doesn't hold up as well the sand as I had hoped. The motor still looks mint, but all the suspension and rolling stock is all frosted. So I'd vote CHROME! Everything else gets hand polished to maintain it, or alot of real nice looking powder coat.

RC418 Posted April 27, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2011 Thanks guys, Definately think I am going to be going with chrome. I just seen alot of people running polished stuff so I just wanted to see if there were other benefits that I was unaware of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fastbanshee8 Posted April 27, 2011 Report Share Posted April 27, 2011 You can always have aluminum polished, then powder coated with clear, so you no longer have to polish it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
