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.
Very well could be true Dave. My '76 RD400 fenders looked pretty good, but I think they were heavier too. Nevertheless, for me I find it hard to bother looking at or under fenders (unless it was the amplifier type
). I'd would consider just dabbing suspect areas with some grease and forget 'bout it.
