The engine of my Cb400t could do with a clean up but I don't want to remove it until next winter so I am wondering if anyone has any advise about tidying it up while still in the frame. I have used gunk but there are still white deposits all over the engine.
The seat cover needs replaced and I notice a number can be purchased on-line but I am not sure about the quality of them. I have been in touch with a local firm who could recover the seat for £30- £40. The downside being that the seat would not have the ribbed sections like the original seat. Just asking to see what you would do. I am not doing a full restoration but a tidy up of rusty and worn parts to get the bike back on the road again to enjoy it.
I have set myself a target of the 30th June to get her on the road. Funds permitting of course but looking for bargins
I still need the following
Speedo casings
Front sprocket
Chain
Shocks
Ignition switch
Mirrors
Seat recovered
Front mudguard rechroned
