I say do what you want mate. And don't give a fcuk what anyone thinks on here.
  I always build my builds how I want them.  And couldn't give a toss about other peoples opinions.  :daumenhoch:

Agreed.  Would a few minor touch ups then T-cutting the original paint offend the survivor fetishists?  Might be worth a try and cheaper than the whole strip and powder scenario - if you don't like, break out the Nitro-Mors.  >:D

Laughing out loud at Disco Stu!! Haha!! ;D ;D ;D

Thanks for the advice all - really good to get a few opinions!

Mattbloke 'goose' looks epic............. nothing like the rust on mine - can see why it was rated!

for the first time EVER i agree with stu  ;)

but if you do restore it, just do it justice cos it looks like you have a complete stock bike there  :daumenhoch:

I think you'd be surprised just how well that bike will clean up, taken to bits cleaned, greased with new grips, tyres, cables and brake blocks, chain if it needs it and it'll look spot on.

Just because there is a bit of surface rust doesn't mean it's not structurally sound, 9 times out of 10 rust looks worse due to staining around it, clean it off and it's usually just a small rust mark left behind.

I'm fixing this up to ride this summer, two pics of the same side.





Get hold of some Autoglym Motorcycle Cleaner   :daumenhoch:
