Guys, moving on from the newbie section I thought it best to start a separate thread for my restoration. This is the first motorbike I have ever restored so it may take a while. I will post some pictures later on but for now I have a few questions that need your advice.
1 Whats the best way to remove the rivet from the steering lock as the frame is almost ready for blasting.
2 Head stock bearing seats are shot so new head stock bearing set is required. Is it best to use seats with separate balls or taper roller.
3 Fork stanchions are badly pitted. Would it be best to buy new pattern ones or get the originals re-chromed.
4 Whats the preferred method of painting/coating the frame and swing arm
