What did you do on or to your CB 1100 today

[Lunchbag]

Thanks to all for the recommendations and encouragement.  In the past I often used naval jelly for rusty things, but at some point I switched to wire brushing and applying a rust converter called Ospho.  I'm hesitant to use Ospho around the bike though, because it is so corrosive if a drip gets on anything.  It would ruin any nice finish like chrome.

I ordered a metal polish yesterday called Flitz.  Have never tried it.  But being impatient, I also found in the garage a bottle of Nu finish and put a couple coats on the right muffler.  It probably won't last long, but I needed something to do while watching the Orioles lose again.

I also found in the garage a half-full bottle of MAP gas, but couldn't find the bernsomatic torch (have moved several times since last using it).  So I went out and bought one with flexible hose and adjustable flame.  I'm hoping it will allow me to heat and remove the left muffler without damaging anything on the bike.

Oh, and I treated the rash on the brake lever...amazingly it disappeared.
