Hendo Posted December 3, 2010 Report Share Posted December 3, 2010 As per the title really. Got a steering damper for my bike but its blue which is a bit minging for me. Whats the best way to get rid of it? Its aluminium underneath so im just going to polish it up. Will nitromores do it, or is it a case of using wet and dry? Ta.
