This topic required a bump and an update from Boris !

I polished it a bit last night.
I had just oiled, put the top camchain guide on and fitted the tensioner to the 660.

so I'm kinda onto the plastics, time to choose

Now a little warning: I just kinda knicked myself getting some stickers off the tail fairings, the 3TJ red is almost an exact match for blood ... the unoxygenated type from my thumb anyway ... careful with those razor blades

I see youve got lots of fairing there il love a top fairing and a chain guide

I thought your bike had a top fairing ?

I've been on the lookout for some downpipes since I got this bike so when a rusty set turned up on the bay I bit the bullet and bought them.

The first job was to get the worst of the rust off them, I used a brass wheel on a slow drill and then gave them a coat of rust killer.

The next weekend I used a fine grit paper with my Mouse palm sander

And another coat of rust killer

I missed the light or it was raining so I had to wait another week before I painted them

I't not the best set in the world but they'll at least be servicable.

Surely there is a hero who could copy the downpipes in stainless and cut and weld the exup onto them to make new forever shiney 3tj downpipes :D

About the tank rust ive got abit of minor rust in mine is it worth getting the acid out

Posted: **Wed Feb 19, 2014 9:25 am**

If you have the acid then maybe - depending on how much there is. Otherwise probably not.
The 3TJ tank has a seam on the bottom so theres a bit on each side that doesn't drain when the tank's on the bike. If water gets in it sits in that bit because it's heavier than petrol, and rusts it. Make sure your tank dosen't have any water in - use a torch and see if there's anything in it.

There the smallest amount of liquid in it but it hums of petrol ive tryed to get the last out but like you said its in a place to hard to reach i might try lowering a long pieace of rag in to soak it up

It's a bugger innit

Use a long piece so you don't drop it into the tank like I did. Or you can stick a hair dryer in the top of the tank
