Hiya folks, need to reach out to The Collective again.
Took wheels off for new tyres. Whilst at it replaced fork oil and polished to high shine fork sanctions as they were sprayed black. Swing arm is shoddy to that's off for black powder coat.
Hangers look shabby. I'm thinking three options: polish & keep polishing, or polish and clear coat lacquer, or powder coat silver. Advice please. Due to put in swing arm fairly soon.
Also lower forks, I'm certain they're meant to be silver. 2nd question; Is the original finish polished then lacquer or should they be sprayed silver? My bike's from France; when imported the seller told me they arrived black (badly painted though, and further spoiled by me spilling oil).
Help & advice welcome.
Thanks folks, Chris
PS. I have to admit, I don't generally do restoration, I do get it working and ride it, but I'm trying! I remain envious of you that commit to detailed restoration stuff.
