mickboz80 Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 I am new any kind of motorbike mechanics other than a general service. I have recently acquired a 1975 DT 250B, and always wanting to embark on the restoration of a classic bike I thought I would dive in and start here. Bike is was very rough and engine was ceased so have stripped it all down and am starting to clean in up. Here is photo of when I first collected And now https://vimeo.com/117129514 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slice Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 Have you tried Baco foil and Coca cola on your chrome ? Believe it or not it seems to really clean chrome of rust and blemishes. Look it up on Youtube. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
