This is after using black emery. After everything has been polished with black emery I will go back and hit everything with some white diamond to really make it pop.

400 grit in first two pictures. 1000 grit in second two pictures. One caliper still needs 1000 grit sanding and one needs complete sanding. (Last picture) I should be polishing by the end of the week.
I've got six days worth of wet sanding between these two knuckles. Working on sanding the calipers now.
It will probably take me the rest of the week to finish wet sanding this aluminum. You can see the difference between the blasting and sanding stages in the pictures on the left. There are several spots of road rash that I couldn't completely remove without compromising the integrity of the pieces. Overall I think they will turn out really nice once they get polished.
Wet sanding with 400 grit, then 1000 grit before hitting it on the buffer. Finished the black oxide treatment on the rear hardware, and I think it turned out pretty good.
The first picture is after soaking in Evapo-Rust. The second is after blasting. The last pictures are after the black oxide treatment. All the old hardware that I am using will get this same treatment. Almost looks painted.
Now I can finish port matching the heads, and finish the accessory brackets. U-joints and rod ends turned out pretty good after paint. Still working on getting the aluminum rear end components polished and re-assembled.
