Yeah I have. Restored (literally) a gsxr and did EVERYTHING. Full frame, forks, swingarm, wheels (well one anyway and decided to go with dark painted wheels) subframe, Took me a whole year out of a two year project. Looked amazing when I was done but a R/R takes all of two minutes to change. Not the kind of downtime that would go along with polishing your frame...Going to bed but I can answer more of your questions about the process if you're interested another time, or just pm me. It's a LONG dirty process that requires constant maintenance to keep looking really nice. It does look killer though. I can't really tell you whether or not it's "worth it."
