Restorers: How Do You Bring The Gleam Back To The Old Girl?

[Macx]

When I stripped my Honda Pop, I dumped all the alluminium bits into toilet cleaner for a few minutes. It came out looking like new but just be sure to wash it all properly with clean water otherwise the acid will just keep on eating away at the metal. Read about my restoration project HERE.

Great write-up!

How did the family and neighbors react when they saw you tinkering with a junk heap, and then later emerge with a nifty, almost brand new machine?

Thanks for the tips, btw!

To the op, i have added a link for some nuts, for you here is some more pics,, you are welcome to come on a ride, you can rent a bike in PP fpr $10 a day !

Thanks! I'll certainly look you up when I get there!

Hey, great pics! Some real nasty, fun looking terrain too.

The pic of the bike floating on plastic jugs is priceless!

Love it!

Btw, whose idea was it to use those jugs?

I have a Yamaha 650, that needs servicing. I used to go to a shop on Udomsuk but the guy closed now suddenly. Anyone know a reliable place for servicing. I need one soon as the bike hasnt been used in a year. Please email me at [email protected]
