Straight forward afternoon at the garage going through parts one-by-one. It gets a bit ridiculous spending half an hour cleaning and polishing the rear brake switch, which sets a precedent, so now you got to clean and polish every little bit. But that’s the precedent we set, and this bike may never see this kind of attention or refurb again in its lifetime. But I’m not being super anal\u2026just minor anal. I cringe at some of the spots or gunk left\u2014I can see how collector show guys get obsessive\u2014but I’ve got a lot of bikes in my future to get to, so I’m not going to spend years on my first restoration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even after mutliple runs through the simple green ultrasonic, and multiple degrease runs by hand, AND the cleaning tank at the pro shop, it still has brown gunk. Good enough.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Dremel out the corrosion on the rear brake switch contacts (after a soak in the ultra sonic bath\u2026that’s not bad for it, right?)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Polishing compounds from Dave.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
