On Saturday I cleaned the carb. Which seemed clean anyway, some dirt in the bottom of the float bowl. Next time that carb comes out the 120 main jet will be swapped with something bigger. Will be doing the needle shim mod too.
Once the carb was done it was time to start "decrustifying". Most of the chrome trim has surface rust. My wife wanted something different and mentioned black before I could ask her, fine by me its kinda what I wanted to do anyway. It gets expensive and hard to find non rusty bits and I like painting/cutting/sculpting on cheap used beat up plastics.
I used a wire brush and then cleaned it as best I could then sprayed it up with some plasti-dip. Came up ok all in all.
This will be fixed when I give the bike a respray. Paint is generally good - scrapes on guard from the bike going down. On top of the tank there is paint fade.
