Have the proprietary brightener that came with the chemicals, did half that tin and had to top up, only 1 cap full and did the rest. Have good results with the Olive drab passivate too.

Also use Gateros chemicals now, v helpful chap, they are a short run form my daughters house so visit both on occasions.

have to be very matriculates about the cleaning, would love to know where i can get Nitric acid as it helps a lot before passivisation.

Thank all. The frame, stove enamelled just a few week previous was bent and the bike scrapped, motor soled to a mate and the other bit used on another 400/4 also with Comstars and sold in 1984.

Hello  all. Have had CD175's 400/fours, one CB550K and one or 2 SuperDreams (250 and a 400). Now work on a few SOHC  classics and loving every minute of it.

Good to keep these bikes going.

Also Own a Kawasaki Z500B2 1980 from new (82000 miles), a Suzuki GSF1200S K4, 2004 from almost new(63000 miles) and a little GS125 1999 (30000 miles). This little GS is my all year round nip about bike.
Pics are my modded 400/4 in 1982 just after it got wrote off my a mini coming on the wrong side of the road.

Regards
