This is what I did: http://www.xs400.com/forum/showthread.php?t=9103&highlight=polished+highlights
Even that was a reasonably big jop to polish, not saying it would be impossible, but a very long hard and tedious job to do a complete polish. However if you have time and do it bit by bit you could do it. I personally wouldnt bother...they would look good totally polished though

though this threads was about Polish Porn mags for a moment
hahaha, are the polish known for dirty mags?
I think I will give it a try, the polishing not the porn. Will do little at a time, in no hurry have done hundreds of wheels and frames on modern bikes but they have wide rims closed spokes so aren't pain to do. And wouldn't Polish porn have them wearing long winter coats.
I polished the rims on the resto xs and they looked great. I have seen aircooled rd's with polished wheels (same style as ours) and look good
If you could get a little flap wheel in there and do a lot of the hard work that would be a bonus. I don't know if there is anything like that out there please let me know if there is.
Chrome can look too much on some things, but either way they would still need to be polished before chroming. The chrome finish can only be as good as the polish job beneath it. A complete polish job would be a huge undertaking to say the least lol. Hey heres a crazy idea right outa left wing...maybe you could grind down the outer ridges on the spokes so they are flat then it would be a crap load easier to polish. 
I will be using little flap wheels and 3/4 inch sand disks, scour pads in dremel, along with many other things I have will post what I used where when I get to it (hopefully week after one coming up) shouldn't take too long.
Banggood (insert another porn joke here) sells dremel type stuff usually a little cheaper than ebay example http://www.banggood.com/Polishers-B...d-Grinding-Head-Fits-For-Dremel-p-984362.html say .99 but are actually .77 cents each at checkout, of course they also have 80,120,240 grit flap wheels http://www.banggood.com/10pcs-10mm-...lap-Wheel-Set-for-Rotary-Tools-p-1035170.html
