Some of the guys have polished their pipes.  They are stainless underneath. 
This is Noel's picture:

The carbs are with RPM, as already mentioned, and are currently soaking to dissolve "the ethanol gunk in the bowls and carb bodies" per RPM ... meanwhile I removed the exhaust pipes and de-rusted them using Rustoleum Rust Dissolver, which took off the rust and revealed a very shiny dark grey surface on the pipes, albeit with very tiny "pinpoints" of silver all over.

Good job 

The thorn is out, the pain is gone. What a chore for such a small item. Well done.

Very nice Fred.

Good job!
Red color combo looks sharp and solo seat tail making bike look even better, sexy!

Did you forget to mention something in your ad?

Well done!

Gratis,

Great news! Glad that worked out.
While you have the vacuum out, I suggest that you vacuum out the cylinder to extract any tiny pieces that may remain in the cylinder.
Just a thought . . .
