Dont do it, It looks s**t.
Mine has been polished but I'm going to get it powder coated black.


Best way to do it, is take it off the bike.

Then either buy a polishing kit off ebay. Or just get busy with the sand paper and autosol.

Maybe you're right mate.. Just repaint it and nothing to worry about...

.

i bought a PROGRIP fuel cap pad instead, not bad after installing it.

Parus, dont polish your top yoke, it will not look good. Or if you really want them shinny, get them chrome plated. i got mine powder coated black and looks great.

Please don't ever buy them silly FAKE carbon fibre fuel cap covers. They look terrible.
