A Tale of Two Centuries

[gman_imp]

Took some time this week to prep the KAW for detailing. I am impressed with the lack of corrosion on the bike given its 38 years old. Zero rust on the fenders (a known issue on the '13 CB and only a few small spots on the chrome chain guard. Of course the aluminum parts show heavy oxidation as to be expected. More pictures to come:

I am in the final stages of detailing the bike. I began my work on the fuel tank yesterday. The paint is in almost perfect condition on the outside, but discovered that the previous owner had lined the inside of the tank.

The liner was failing and I removed a substantial amount of it before chemical cleaning to start today. Nasty stuff..........................box cutter is for size reference, this was removed by hand!
