isitafox Posted January 30, 2012 Report Share Posted January 30, 2012 Has anyone got any pics of a polished maggie lever and blade?? Been searching all morning but all I've managed to find is a pic of a polished slave in one of my old threads! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris4stars Posted January 30, 2012 Report Share Posted January 30, 2012 I dont have any pics but seriously considered doing exactly the same thing....tried to make it look similar to the better looking echo sl a few guys at work have done it with v-brake levers using the drill attachments you get to polish and it looks great would it require a quick nitromorse first? if so i have some decent stuff here if you need it blade wise, i couldnt get the black to come off with caustic soda....luckily i didnt like them anyway and went for the echo sl which IMO feels much much nicer than any others. a coloured/black blade would maybe contrast better against the polished body...

Canardweb Posted January 30, 2012 Report Share Posted January 30, 2012 Just use a file and some patience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isitafox Posted January 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2012 Isn't actually for me, a guy I know with 04 shape levers on his xc bike is thinking of doing it and I know I've seen pics on here somewhere but I just can't find them!

Chris Borneo Posted January 30, 2012 Report Share Posted January 30, 2012 (edited) Not really polished but I stripped the paint of mine. Booster was like that when I got it. Think it's been painted with chrome paint. Pretty poor though Edited January 30, 2012 by Chris Borneo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
