Try a good plastic polish. I use this industrial stuff called Brillianize.
It's available at plastic distributors, there's one in Worcester.  Or try
an auto paint supply house, DuPont makes a similar polish. It won't
take the gouges out but it will remove small scratches.

Chuck a good quality cotton buffing wheel into your bench grinder
or drill and use a metal polish. To get into the nooks and crannies
you may have to use a small cotton buff in a die grinder or Dremel.
It may leave swirl marks so you'll have to take them out with elbow
grease and polish.

I made a trike once where I used a Harley chain drive differential *backwards*
by cutting new "windows" for the chain in what had been the back of the case. 
This kept the brace on the bottom. I wasn't too concerned with how the case
looked because it was pretty well hidden by a custom made trunk.

A friend of a friend is thinking about selling his '87(ish) Heritage Classic,
and I'm thinking about buying it. The bike looks good - the turquoise & cream
paint job was recently redone. It looks exactly like most of the stock machines
I've looked at on dealer showroom floors, and doesn't have much in the way of
add-ons. The bike has 55K miles on it. The owner has all the maintenance recs,
and the thing seems to be well cared for. He's asking $9K for the thing. The 
problem I have is that I have NO idea if this is a good price or not. In fact,
I have no feel for used Harley prices. I'd appreciate any info anyone can provide
on what used Harleys sell for, and any opinions on what the machine described
above might be worth. And please hury! The lust for a turquoise & cream Heritage
SoftTail Classic that I've (barely) kept bottled up the past several years is
rushing to the fore, and I fear that I'm about to do something really irrational.

Thanx in advance for your help.

perhaps you should follow the conversation. the question was "where do new
harleys with 500miles on the odomiter come from?"

perhaps in this context, my response makes more sense to you.

of course, if you are the aging poser scum in question, how much do you
want for that new fatboy?

Out of curiosity, I ran Managing Your Money's inflator/deflator option
and came up with this:

$14,000 in 1992 was $2,868 in 1957   (the FL)
$37,000 in 1992 was $7,579 in 1957   (middle income salary)

Just curious as to how accurate these figures might be.  How much
was a '57 FL(H) in '57?  Or does Ed go back further? (18 in 1957?)

Sure it isn't "NC"??? National Cycle makes a lot of the HD windshields.
You can usually get similar windshields from a cycle accessory place
(or mail order) for much, much less than you get an official
HD one.  The HD logo costs a lot.  Someone told me that if you buy
HD accessories, you pay _H_undreds _D_ollars more.  Get it?

That really makes me feel "cheap" George! My tougue was in my mouth through
out the whole interviewing process. I'm sure it had nothing to do with it.

Had it had something to do with me being hired, one could deem it as
sexual harrassment, couldn't they?
