Motomags - need advice and help and which way to go ? Pic's up
kalex:
i don't think you can weld them as i think they have a high content of magnesium or some other high flammable stuff. the best thing i've seen on other restored motomags is araldite for alloy's. i've seen pics of someone in Oz doing this.

Don't polish them up though, they were not built or meant to look that way and you will imo completely ruin them.

Yer had them on my watch list - thought i may as well ask if Nick had a price he would let them go at - he got back to me with a offer i couldn't refuse ;) 8)
And as the wife and i were near him looking at baby stuff, i got to pick them up - job done
I was surprised no one else put offers in - i think some thought it was under the radar and would put a small bid in at the end ???

Good for you Bendy, I was watching them but only out of interest to see what they went for.
Rodgy1970:
Clean them up first, you might want to give polishing them and fixing them a swerve.
Autoglym motorcycle cleaner brings alloy and metal up well without polishing.
http://jbweld.net/index.php if you can find the bits to fix them.

I advise putting up pics of the london ride before you start any other bloody jobs ::)
