I will/can leave the back end stainless, we did leave the main frames tubes also in stainless but the trouble with this is the bottle bosses, we only silver solder them in now as we have had trouble with the rivet type and they look poor.
I can leave the Brian Rourke / Rourke stainless only trouble with that is there is a build up of paint primer, base coat colours then laquer so there is a definite edge. we did laquer our transfers onto the stainless but stone chips and water get to this after a while as the laquer doesn't grip to bare metal like it does to paint, we've tried many preps etc but none last long term
