neversaydie Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 I'd try fettling them corroded areas with the wirewheel/dremmel. Then try to match the paint up up, I recall hammerite do a very similar grey/silver in a small pot. Once dry, wipe them down with a acf50 rag. If its chrome, buy a small tin of the spray chrome finish, spray a little into the lid, then brush it onto the areas reqd. Then same again, acf50 rag Dont get it on the brakes or disc/s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator drewpy Posted January 17, 2016 Moderator Share Posted January 17, 2016 its the laquer that had failed and corrosion has got underneath. would need to use wet and dry paper before polishing 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil72 Posted January 17, 2016 Author Share Posted January 17, 2016 Thanks for the advice, seen some YouTube clips on totally removing the lacquer and going bare metal polished. Like the sound of that lol any ideas where I can get spares like the one below, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neversaydie Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 Filler, rubdown, re-spray? Or do you mean the rear drive unit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil72 Posted January 18, 2016 Author Share Posted January 18, 2016 yes the rear plastic clip on accessory, probably be better to take it off for now, but cannot seem to be able to find anything similar to replace it with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malleus Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 Not familiar with this bike, but it looks like the part number is 5KS221100100 , but this is the entire rear arm - which I assume includes the plastic covering. (£600) As I have seen a few times with new OEM parts it may be hard to get this piece on its own. Might be worth looking on ebay or somewhere similar for used parts. (Unless it is not an OEM part?)
