Misc / Open / What did Honda use to coat forks/engines in the 70's

« on: January 27, 2017, 03:53:32 PM »

Not sure this is the right place to post this but here goes.
I'm restoring a CB250 K2 and I'm currently polishing up the fork legs. The engine will follow.
The forks are coming up great but I'm not sure what's the best thing to coat them with.
Originals have that satin kind of coating but I do like "shiny". What have other people used
and what do you recommend ?
Thanks Andy

None now. Stripped all the wiring off today. Looks like a rectifier to me too.

Hello all, recently joined because I've bought a 1971 CB250 K2 which is very very rusty. Currently stripping it down and hoping to get the frame powder coated for New Year.
Had bikes as a kid including a 1967 cb450 then returned to bikes a couple of years ago with a 1995 cbr600f which felt like a bullet compared to 70's bikes. I'm now running a 1250 Bandit and a 900 Triumph America. Love the Bandit, still not sure about the America.
As I live in Shaw, Oldham, I would be very interested if anyone can recommend a painter to do my tank/side panels/headlamp/fork shrouds in the original gold and white, somewhere in Lancs/Yorks ?
Regards
Andy
