Project 14 is in the final stages of assembly and this time I've chosen to do something about one of the items that Honda overlooked on an otherwise nicely finished model — a 1987 VFR700 F2.
The rear brake pedal is a cast aluminum piece with kinda crud casting marks left in place (top lever in photo). In addition, the pedal is finished in a silver coating, probably paint. Some machine wheel grinding took care of the casting line and sandpaper erased the coating. I finished up with progressively finer sanding followed by hand buffing. Much nicer, I think.
