Ok guys, as you may have seen for my hello message, I have a project. I'm planing on riding it, so wont be going to concourse condition. I bought the mx1000's, seat and lay back when I first got it about 9 years ago from Alans and I've just bought the comp III's as the tubes were busting out the sides of the old tyres.

Anyhow, first question, sorting the rust. I never liked the bars so if someone could recommend something else that would be great. The DK stem needs some work as well, but I reckon will polish up? I always had a Suntour ones :)

I was going to try the citric acid on the forks? Where's the best place to get some drip landing gear decals?

And onto the frame, I'd love to get it powder coated but my limited research/knowledge I don't seem to be able to find those baby blue drip decals (are they even original?)

I'm not keen on the pedals either, but I almost fell off my chair seeing the price of some NOS DX'es :(

Anything else I should do/look at?

Also anyone hazard a guess to the age?

Many thanks for any help
Cheers
Lee

Tidy survivor that mate.  :daumenhoch:

You need citric or oxalic acid (citric is more user friendly) to soak the chrome parts in to shift the rust then just give em a polish.

Superbikedan  is the man for a powder coating. You can pm him on here. Here's some of his work.
