Alright gang.......does anybody know the best thing to get bits of rust off, for example, I wanna get rid of the rust on the radiator holder/bracket thing and on the oil bottle holder/bracket thing, then paint/spray it back over with what? anyone know the best stuff as long as its black
Cheers mate, I hate rusty bits, well its not me its the people before, since I had this bike I have always covered it, even on sunny days so as you know its nice to keep the bike looking fresh
Yeah I will do that mate but wanna learn myself still got to do the swing arm yet thats gonna be the biggest thing as I am still learning, and I want that in black
whatever you do mate DO NOT STRIP the bearings out the swingarm lol . Fortune to replace although prob worth it .
My advice mate is judge up what metals bit you want sorted then find out a coating quote . Ive learnt it can be chaeper than doing it yourself . Its just figuring out which bits to take off and how much
powdercoating the swing arm is good but an utter pain in the ass as you would have to remove the bearings and seals and like mugen says its expensive to replace them
the swinger is dead easy to remove i would just take it off rub it down and spray it with some rattlecans and give it lots of coats of laquer to prevent stonechips ect and the same with the rad bracket
So if its that easy I am pleased thanks Baz. on the swing arm there is only one main bolt going through isnt there, I got myself a bike stand now, so can start doing things with it instead of trying to do it on the normal bike stand
For the frame mate all im going to do is take of the plastics wire brush the rusty bits and then use kurust on them and leave it overnight, then paint over the bits youve sorted with hammerite.
