Nice smooth, O.E. finish; not keen on polishing too much these days (apart from the bolts holding the things together).
Might help to get a good base for polishing if you must, I recommend sorting any drilling out before you start on the restoration mind.What is ACF50?
ACF50 is a very necessary item here in the UK...

Cool, let me know if you have anything else in my WTB thread as well :)Quo Vadas wrote:I might have a set of WRC rearsets soon as I have procured another RVF. I'm pulling apart bikes at the moment and swapping some stuff over. I'm a bit over 6ft and find that the WRC rearsets cramp me up too much. I prefer the stock.
I'll let you know mate.

What about these?

In addition I replaced the flip up pegs with some aftermarket ones with a round headed big bolt that bolts through the back of the rear sets. Makes them fixed which I prefer, easier maintenance by using axle stands under the pegs.

How hard can it be?
