Time to clean up
Waiting for parts, I turned to cleaning the bike, the chrome really comes back to good condition, with the help of a bit of elbow grease.I used WD40 for all the painted bits, it really works well at removing grime. Don't use it on chrome though, it won't harm it but hen you use Metarex (or Ouator), the greasy film left by wd40 complicates the polishing.Dig that seat, it's got the original foam and cHris Dupen from Vintage Japanese Motorcycle World in Oz is selling replica covers for the 69 year.
Time to decide if I'm going to use this panel set, the Candy Orange is really a spunky color. The photo looks good, but in truth, it's really faded. By chance, the PO applied some extra stripes, which preserved the original tint.
