combat41 Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 Hey Unk I have been restoring an xs 250 just seen your post those triple trees on the top of the forks I took mine off, Removed the paint with some 120 grit wet and dry then used 400, then 600 then finished off with 1200 wet and dry then I polished them, They came up a treat very shiny can see my face in them now, Good luck with the resto project.

Its been time consuming to be honest but think I am now ready to continue with the project so will be in the garage over the winter (picking your brains no doubt) in an effort to get it finished. I work for a tools and fastenings company based here on the Wirral so nut and bolts no problem Another plus is that I have located an exhaust manufacturer in the UK that does XS250/400 exhausts!!!!! Happy days! How are you....any projects on the go? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
