There seems to be about ten extra feet of tubing in this frame, and every inch of it was rusty. I used a combination of sandpaper, grit blasting, phosphoric acid (Krud Kutter), with lots and lots of elbow grease. 1980 KZ750-H1 (slightly altered) 1987 KZ1000-P6 "Ponch" 1979 GS1000 "Dadzuki"

Kidkawie Offline User I bleed premix Posts: 1919 Thank you received: 245	I've rescued enough bikes to invest in a cheapo sandblaster. Gravity feed, not pressurized. Pressurized is alot better. There's plans online on making one out of propane tanks. I just use $3 bags of play sand from the hardware store, you need to sift it though and use a moisture filter on your air lines. 1975 Z1 900 1994 KX250 Supermoto 2004 KX125

In my case the sporty shocks were an improvement all around. My S & W's were to stiff when I laid then down a bit. Sportys ride nice. I kind of enjoy wiring. :cheer:
