Rust

#1 Post by Falconihlist » Mon Mar 28, 2011 6:47 pm

Apart from using wet and dry every time it's rained, what's the best way of de rusting all the small bolts around the bike and keeping them that way?

Hi all,

Either replace with Stainless Steel/Titanium :smt007 OR get your dremel our and wire wool head some GT85 and start scrubbing.....

Replace them all with stainless ones, they're pretty cheap now.

Then get out your GT85 and clean up all the old bolts just so you can savour the aroma of GT85 :smt007 before you bin the old mild steel ones

I'd clean them all off or replace them, then go see Nooj to get the bike all year weatherproofed.. :smt002

Some Falco owners claim that the rust is their paint colour.
