Frame anodizing, looks great when new, but trying to repair any damage is pretty much impossible. My '93 cbr 900rr frame is driving me nuts!! Love the content btw
have you ever tried cardboard - it gets the black off very well - back in the day when we had very little to work with we used Autosol direct to cardboard and that would go black in seconds and it would buff aluminium up to a great shine.
I had no idea Canada got the pop up Katana, we got them in here in NZ, the NZ/Australia version differs from the Japanese version in that they are un-restricted and have different size rear wheels.
@@true-moto-resto I see them pop up 😆 for sale every now and then here in NZ, and almost bought one as a project, but the seat Panels were missing and near impossible to source. I’m also an 80s 90s bike fan with a very modest collection, 86 GSX-R1100, 87 FZR1000 plus some later models, 01 R1 and an 02 Suzuki GS1200SS (an oddball JDM, NZ only model, kinda cool tho😀)
@@true-moto-resto A friend of mine here in NZ, has one in the white/red/black colour scheme. He also has two 1976 Mk1 RG500 GP bikes, one is Pat Hennen's ex bike he won the Finnish GP on, pretty cool bikes.
Just wanted to let you know how much I’m enjoying following your Slabside restoration.
Thanks very much !!
Its good 👍 to watch someone who is thorough and gets a few tips to boot
👏🙏👍
Absolutely right to go with the frame. Polished parts on sportsbikes doesn't fit in. Never liked it, but it's just taste
So much passion and effort
Cheers Mike
No need to apologise for the music "noise" in the background 😛
