Any advice on how to proceed?
The rust on my front fender was pretty imbedded, and I had to use emery paper to remove it. I wiped the fender clean with WD-40 before reinstalling the front wheel. I'll see how this worked the next time I change my front tire. Funny thing is this: I've posted threads on this forum about rust in the past, and I am convinced the quality of metal on my CB1100 is just not that high of quality. I own (since new) a 1977 Yamaha RD400 and an 1976 Honda CB750F, and neither of these bikes have exhibited rust to the level my CB1100 has.
