bansheesandrider Posted August 2, 2012 Report Posted August 2, 2012 I am wanting to replace my factory stator and clutch cover with some shiny ones. Is it better to go with polished or Chrome aluminum? You can polish your OEM clutch cover and just buy a stator cover. Polished aluminum is cheaper, you can do the clutch cover yourself, it won't rust but it will dull and need to be touched up from time to time. Chromed aluminum is more expensive, there is also the possibility of the chrome flaking off the aluminum. My general rule is to polish my aluminum, and chrome steel or iron items. Quote
shakar Posted August 2, 2012 Report Posted August 2, 2012 (edited) I am wanting to replace my factory stator and clutch cover with some shiny ones. Is it better to go with polished or Chrome aluminum? polishing alum means countless hours repolishing witch = imo no fun , id go chrome or go home. .......... to repolish that is. hehehe goodluck Edited August 2, 2012 by shakar Quote
hotrodbanshee Posted August 2, 2012 Author Report Posted August 2, 2012 I would like to go with Chrome aluminum but would hate to see start flaking off. Is there any type of sealent to put on freshly polished aluminum that would make it last longer? Quote
shakar Posted August 2, 2012 Report Posted August 2, 2012 yup chrome...lol i believe ive heard of people clear coating after but never tried it personaly. Quote
hotrodbanshee Posted August 2, 2012 Author Report Posted August 2, 2012 Where is a good place to get chrome clutch and stator covers? As far as a stator cover would like to get one with flames. I had found a chrome clutch cover on ebay a while back, but been checking lately and no luck. Quote
10milmike Posted August 4, 2012 Report Posted August 4, 2012 If you get a polished one, you can always get a clear powdercoat over it so you never have to polish again. I did that with my cylinders 3 years ago and they still look like I just polished Them. Quote
2strokeshees Posted August 5, 2012 Report Posted August 5, 2012 ^ thats a good idea..I was thinking if they could do such a thing, any way you can throw a picture up of that. Quote

Nieskes Posted August 6, 2012 Report Posted August 6, 2012 I hate polishing, If I would do it again I would get all my aluminum chromed. Quote
hotrodbanshee Posted August 6, 2012 Author Report Posted August 6, 2012 Think I am going to get one the new Chrome aluminum stator covers from cascade innovations. Is it expensive to get a Chrome job done to my factory clutch cover? Quote
