Rust on lower fork bracket

Thanks Popgun. I'll go a-hunting next week when I'm back home again. Seems like it's readily available in Australia.

It is. I have ordered both the 303 and the ACF50 from Oz distributors.

Cheers.

G'day Tyke57nz,

Would give it a go, even if only to show the ANZAC spirit still lives on. I am not sure if Lanoguard is just starting, or in the process of leaving, Oz. Phones disconnected (in Syd) and local websites not responding. Lanoguard is not listed as a product at major retailers like Bunnings, BCF, AutoBarn or SuperCheap etc. The NZ online order site is not responding but the product is available from eBay but shipment is from the UK. Will have another look soon.

Thanks for the tip though as if it lives up to its claims it looks an ideal Rust Fairy slayer.

Cheers

Cheers G`day Pterodactyl, CRC make a product quite similar available in Aussie - http://www.crcindustries.com.au/lanoshie...inhibitor. On the link I sent you have to type in Lanoshield and it takes you to the product - 3150 appears to be the CRC Part Number. We can buy it here at a variety of stores but Super Cheap Auto is my nearest.Rang the Lanoguard Cellphone and have left a message for contact details. I have used the product on my Land Rovers for a number of years and it appears to be the ducks nuts so far.

Thanks Tyke. I can't find anywhere to type in anything on the Lanoguard site. That said, I sure a mate of mine had some and reckoned it was great.
And here's the link to the CRC page. I'll be getting some! http://www.crcindustries.com.au/lanoshie...-inhibitor

Well here is one area of concern, underneath rear fender, that was clean last week, had two rides on which I thought there was no road salt,, bike is kept in a ventilated garage, just bright tin plating , will rust in hours, hope acf50 helps just of to get some.

Chrome plating is not very thick and will not live up to rock impingement forever. You could consider rubberized undercoating.

Hi Dakota

My bike which has never been in the rain anf the underside of my guards looked similar to your photos. If not slightly worse. The rest of the bike is fine so far.

This bike is a 2011 model, meticulously cleaned, never ridden in the rain and always garaged.

We dont have salted roads here in Australia so that is not an issue.

I have just cleaned and repaired the guards using some products that I have used very successfully on boat trailers with steel parts used in salt water.

I used a rust converter that I bought from a Marine supplier called Fertran. After cleaning of dirt and loose rust you simply paint it on. It is water clean up.
The rusted parts turn black and form a protective coating after reacting with the iron oxide(rust) after a few hours. It was amazing to see how many parts of the guard actually turned black. That chrome is not thick at all and virtually transparent in patches.

After the Fertan has done its job overnight you can over paint the surface. I have used a Rust protection paint from PPG called Rust Guard. It is an epoxy paint.

I will look for a more durable coating to apply over that in the areas that are likely to get stone chips.

If you catch the rust early and seal off the air and moisture this should be a long term fix. One of my boat trailers had some no galvanised parts and this treatment survived a few years of dipping in the ocean.

Whilst Honda should properly apply automotive quality plating to the guards, that will take some lobbying. In the meantime if I lived in your salt road environment a coat of Cold Galvanising paint with a protective top coat would be my first job from new.

Chrome guards have always been a problem on Jap bikes. These new CBs look to have even thinner chrome than my CBs from the 70's. One of which (1977 CB750K7) I only sold 6 months ago with the original guards still shiny and intact.

Read the whole post and looked at all pics ! 2013 & 2014 bikes should not have no rust at all even if you get caught in the rain a few times. These bikes are brand new and should look that way. Yes pledge works good but the chrome fenders and triple trees should not rust on any bike or car less than one year old !! Honda is known for great bikes and factory honda should replace every single rusted part. What will that fender look like in 5 years. ? JMO

Today's proud owners of shiny chrome dripping retros are tomorrow's rat-bike builders it seems.

A CB1100' yesterday.
