Friend of mine lives in a really old house and has had this motorcycle sitting in the underground garage for almost six years. I was asked to pick it up and get it back on the road.

Sorry, no before pictures but it really wasn`t too back just nasty spots on it everywhere and the polished aluminum bits were a bit pitted and all the rubber hoses were moldy...



Pulled and cleaned out tank, rebuilt carb, rebuilt the petcock, Changed all the rubber hoses, changed primary gasket, spark plugs, replaced oil and filter.



Spent ~5hrs polishing the paint and chrome.

Dish cleaner sprayed out of a fertilizer sprayer, 2x

The 2 bucket method with Granitize washing soap.

Meguiars Clay bar and used the 3D Final Touch I bought from Ben.

3m Fine cut.

3m Superfine.

Collinite`s #845 Wax.



On every bit of chrome I used Simichrome.



This is how it turned out.
