Just wanted to warn anybody that's thinking about polishing their Speedmaster front wheel, it's a ton of work and I still haven't made it to a smooth polished final stage. I've hit it with everything from wire wheels, 50 grit sandpaper, black greaseless compound, coarse 3M wheels, and the pitting and casting flaws are still visible. After 30 hours of work, and over $60 in polishing supplies, I wished I'd either farmed this out, or just had them powdercoated. The front wheel is definitely a tougher metal than the fork legs. It took 7 times applying the Zip Strip paint remover and wearing out 2 wire wheels just to get it down to bare metal.
