With all the work involved I'm glad I keep my bike nice and clean all the time so I'll never have to do anything like it myself :-o

Hello, i have a friend who works for Yamaha Racing Belgium, he says that sometimes humidity stay in the exhaust when the motorbike is running on without riding and it makes rust (from the inside to the outside) in the exhaust... Don't forget to verify the electricity before rebuilding the motorbike, it's a mess on Yamaha's. (I have a XT600E, i know what i say... 😵) Very good work, beautiful restoration ! 👍😎 Bye.

Your doing a great mate keep up great work cheers Colin

You are doing a great job. Looking forward to seeing the end.

I wired a tachometer on mine. It's a nice, funcional little mod and if it's something you'd like to do, might as well do it before it's all back together.

Your sanding method is spot on, you can go up to 2000grit if you like, then on your buff, there are two British polishing soaps you can use, grey for cutting and white for final shine, I normally go over with meguiars metal polished to bring it up to a mirror finish, you can then clear coat it.

My fingers hurt just thinking about all that sanding. Knowing what you do now, would you do another project like this one? It's looking good though!

I'm pretty sure you could cure the exhaust pipe paint by running your blow-torch into the pipe

Little Lucifer is well named. After a year and a half on my rebuild, I both sympathise and realise that the devil is in the detail. Keep the faith its looking good.

try scotch brite scouring pad, and Marvel Mystery oil, some claim its excellent restoring aluminium castings

You need a Karcher or Gurney pressure washer to get the grease off.

Good job on the bike Mark. Starting to look awesome - too bad it can't be shipped to Denmark or i would have been on the buyers list ;)

mark , can you tell tell me if you applied a top coat and if so was it temperature rated to the polished clutch cover? cheers

No top coat mate! Just a light polish once a year and it will be great!

Bunnings have degreaser in the cleaning chemical section. You're doing good mate.

I have heard of people drilling specifically 3 holes in the stock exhaust to attempt to change the sound. Looks like someone's punched 3 holes through with a screw driver or something lol

Did you sand the whole exhaust to help the paint stick? Cheers

Yes

Mark, I noticed when you were showing the bike frame, around the steering head, what appeared to be the VIN Number of the bike. You need to be careful not to remove it, if that is the case.

It’s so pitted there that the number is pretty much unreadable without looking at the number on the plate!

Mark Have a tip for you have you heard of product called SCA-Aerosol-Rust-Converter you can paint over lite rust it will convert the rust and you can paint over it too here's a video of the product at Supercheap Auto: www.supercheapauto.com.au/Product/SCA-Aerosol-Rust-Converter-400g/416582 So my theory is if there's places oh you can't get to and you going to paint it black anyway you can use this product and you don't have to sand like crazy on the rust if it's like rust and you can paint the frame with it before you paint it with the black colour you going to do Let me no what you think
