I have no idea what I am doing
So I am planning on starting my LONG airhead rebuild in the next week or so, and it's about time I started thinking about cleaning the old girl.
I have been looking into a few different methods of removing the little bit of rust there is. I want to bring the bike back to life.
However the whole bike is pretty filthy, and I'm not sure if I should take parts to be bead blasted, or if I should sand them down.
Also do you guys use any products on the dirt or rust?
I'll try to show some photo's to show the different parts of the bike. The rust isn't too bad, i think it spent most of it's time indoors when not running.
Luckily most of the chrome is in really good shape! I just wanted to show you what kind of cleaning I was going to have to do. If you guys have tips on cleaning, I promise to make a thread showing my progress ;D
A buddy said I should bead blast the aluminum, and sand down rusted the chrome.
I don't plan on turning the bike into a showroom piece or anything, but I still want it to be CLEAN.
Thanks for the help!
