The clean up project!

shame on you for not getting the bucket and mitt out :lol:

 

Managed to get a bit more done today!

After some paraffin

After some hein gericke stainless steel cleaner

After some autosol

Looking any better? Still got loads to do but getting there

 

its a start mate i wonder how long before its oh that will do i fing it easyer starting on the worst bit like front sprocket swing arm and wheels

 

Nowt better than getting the rear wheel out and cleaning the inside face of the swingarm, if it hasnt started corroding it should come up looking ace ! keep up the good work and pics

 

Well I've finished her off today, hope she passes muster, think I've done the best I could, what you think?













Some of the products I've used

I know she ain't a minter but everything is clean and serviceable on her now, she's had new tyres, c+s, fork and dust seals, pads and fluids, oil and filter and some new nuts and bolts.
Waiting for some rear sprocket nuts and bolts from Honda to arrive and rear shock linkage bolts, the ones I got from the engineers merchants looked naff!

 

Looking very tidy that pal. Great job

 

Very clean job you done Tom

 

Looks alot better now mate.

 

I think you should stop being a tart! It's a bike, ride it!

(If you want to spend your life polishing a bike and looking at it, get a Harley! :lol

 

Ignore the dirt bike riders (get it dirt bike) oh never mind :bleh: you carry on mate it looks great :shades:

 

Looks Mint :shades:

 

Not bad at all. Well done m8.

 

looks well m8, nice job

 

Thanks troops, can't wait to get out and ride it!!

 

only prob is now u have got her shinny again u will notice any lil bits of dirt an want to clean her again... or that just me? haha the ACF50 is ok like but carefull were ya use it, if ya put it on ya engine block an any in that gets hot it will smoke off but its good for polishin her coz ya give it a wipe after it gets lil dirty an she is shinny again Autosol is immense especialy on exhaust an engine i have a crome exhaust an brings it right out.

 

Get some britemax on it then.

 

I sprayed acf50 on the front of the engine block and it smoked like a bitch when I fired her up lol, I bought some of that hd wax, it's ok like but not worth £45, imo the ultra deep shine is just as good.
Fitted my sprocket bolts today, going to order some more from silver spares noticed a few have gone a bit manky.


Bloody £41 for 6 sprocket nuts and bolts and a couple of other bits!
What's the britemax Joe, where do you get that from?

 

Britemax is a two part metal cleaner and sealant it keeps the water marks off the alloy mate.

 

Im impressed mate, thats looking really really clean. amazing what a bit of elbow grease and some time can do to a dirty bike !

As said though, get riding it now
