Polished. What can I say, I'm a cheap bastard of the worst kind. Well, almost.
It was Honda first, all through the middle, and if I have my way, till the end as well.
Most people say what they'll do. Very few actually do what they say. |

on what parts? That makes the difference for me.

Polished aluminium is way cheaper than chrome.The parts that I have that came chromed are chrome,the parts that aren't chromed,are polished.........if I
feel up to it.... Only Bikers understand why dogs love to stick their heads out the car window................. 
When I die,I want to go quietly in my sleep like my Grandfather......  ...Not screaming and yelling like the passengers in his
car........
