Brilliant replies guys. I've laughed out loud reading some of your posts !!

I'm going to run some sea foam through her and just check I've got the airboxes well sealed to each other and I reckon I'm there !

Next is to replace the rusting bolts, re-spray the engine covers and eventually her fairing with tank.
I'm also tempted to get the rims powder coated in black if I can't get the rust sorted on them.

I heard of this product:

The guy says he sprays it all over his old BMW's twice a year and it keeps them looking mint. It's true. I saw his bike and it looked beautifully aged with the aluminium all darkened to a deep gunmetal and not one bit of rust on its bolts. He said this stuff begins to actually reverse the rusting !!

A can coming my way soon !!  :thumbsup

Next time buy the combo liquid with hand pump spray, a lot cheaper!

Save the Sporran jokes, I am one of these people that actually shops looking at the kg's/£ labels  :icon_rolleyes:
