Rust on lower fork bracket

[Pterodactyl_imp]

Cormanus. Sounds like you are between a rock and a hard place as far as a cover goes. A sheet would not be good if it gets wet. I assumed that your CB was garaged. Sorry.

You are right. The rust on those oil pipes is unacceptable. Interesting that the corrosion on mine, however minor, is in exactly the same place. Push Honda as hard as you can. Maybe someone on this forum can help with strategy.

Getting better? Yes, not a lot of pain now. Just discomfort. My left arm is still braced and limited in movement by that brace to about 120deg of bend. I will get rid of the brace in another 9 weeks or so. Then physio I guess. I am going bloody crazy as I love to swim, kayak and various other fairly active pursuits. Went down to the shed to check for rust this morning then sat on the bike, pushed it off the centre stand, kicked it in the guts and thought that, even with a braced arm, maybe I can ride this. Then reality hit me. I shut down and sat it on the side stand. If I screwed the results of this (expensive) operation Death-by-Wife would be inevitable.

Cheers
