    After some weather/temp/scratch proof paint does it exist? will be used on both the frame and maybe the wheels?

    a good 2 pack is as hard as you will get m8, either that or powder coating.

    goes on ok but does not resist fuel - looks bloody awfull if you get a splash on it... i used it on my frame and every time i fuelled it the paint got bloom.
    id recommend you use summat else.

    hammerite is easy to get a nice finish but trust me it will soom look crap, and if you try to put a fuel proof lacquer over the top like pro xl uv & fuel proof clear coat.. it will react with the hammerite & buubble it to fk.
    tried it. it's crap. dont do it.

    And the best chrome cleaner? To remove rust and buff it up to a nice shine?

    I've got black fairing set inlucding tank, so the plan is to make the old girl sellable whilst learning. Then buy a bigger bike and sell mine on

    Right new panels are on the bike now i need new brakes and tyres.

    First question are the drum brakes the same size? as in pads... will these work? : http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Front-Rear-Brake-Drum-Shoes-HONDA-CB125-CG125-NH125-/270501085970?pt=UK_Motorcycle_Parts&hash=item3efb1f0312

    best to mail the seller m8 and let him know what year your bike is... yours has a disc front doesnt it, that set is for front & rear drum like off the old brazil model & earlier.

    could well be that your rear drum is bigger than the old model...
    you could do a oem part number search at wemoto or silvers then cross reference the part number, or email the goldfren guy and ask him to quote you a match for your honda number.
