Here's a picture of my 1500D2, taken in June of 1999 just as the two bikes
were starting their permanent move to Georgia.
You can see the polished water pump cover, held by stainless steel
fasteners. Procedure is the same as with all aluminum polishing, with the
pump cover off the bike of course.
This makes for a very "natural" look and saves the expense of buying the
chromed sheet metal cover. I had much trouble with those things rusting in
the past, so I prefer putting a chrome-like polish on the actual part.
In the meantime I have refined the looks of the engine by stripping the
paint off the cylinder bases (still silver engine paint in this picture)
and putting a chrome shine on it, too. My next pics will show this in much
more detail, and should be ready in about a month. I am still putting the
bike back together right now (Jan.2000) because I had the swingarm and
motor mount chrome plated.
