A buddy of mine's got a custom bike business and he does alloy polishing.He's done mine and they look as good as chrome but a lot cheaper.

Shows how much you can trust the factory service manual for accurate information, eh?

I wonder what the Moco would say if I asked them for part numbers for my rear fork springs & sliders.

This is Dave's plan for me one of these weekends, as well. The front forks on the Ultra are looking a little beat up. I keep telling him the bike has to sit still long enough for me to get my hands on it or it will never get polished, but he won't listen.

I agree with HD7585. That is an easy fix. Looks great. Just be careful with the stripper. Mothers makes a great polish. My 06 got stripped last year.
