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.

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.

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:

I need to get new bushings, can't use the old ones (bottom eyes are different size).
Anybody got a good source?

someone with a lathe could spin up some (insert favorite plastic name)bushings if you can't find some rubber ones.
