Found a polished grab rail deep in the garage (along with Dels wheel spacers) - not sure which to leave on? what's your thoughts?  :)

I'm a fan of polished alloy & I think it looks good, but not sure about the grab-handle, so, for me, I'd leave it painted.
No offence meant.

Same with me.

I'd keep the polished one on there as the paint chips way too easily on the painted one - so I'd keep the painted one in cotton wool for if ever I wanted to put the bike back to standard
Nothing to do.............all day to do it....I love retirement :lol:

Polished👍  One day parked up main street. Id just done a major clean on 14, looked lovely. Old biker mate came up for a talk, weve all had that. Only thing he praised was polished grab rail, like the old BSA had he said. I later thought, such a beautiful machine and he commented on the bloody grab rail. Answers your question.

Had the polished on for the last few weeks albeit sat in the garage but I have decided Painted looks better - and I found deep blue touch up paint for the odd mark :)
