CB350F Restoration by royhall (NOW FINISHED)
royhall:
Back mudguard has returned from Mark at R&S Electroplating, done a very nice job on it. This was a £25 eBay item that had a fair bit of rust on it. Just to make sure the rust was gone I had it bead blasted all over. It didn't touch the good chrome but removed all the rust especially from underneath where it doesn't get polished.
I gave front and back mudguards a liberal spray with Cold Galvanise before fitting to help protect them from corrosion. Don't know if it will work but it cant do any harm.

Got the back mudguard fitted. As it was an original Honda piece it went straight on without hassle. the chrome looks really good.

Just got to do a bit of electrical soldering and fit the back light. Now the tyre pressure labels are on, looks like it just came out of the factory.

Bit of soldering to finish the new rear loom and on with the light. That's the back end completely finished.

Those USA back lights always look huge to me. But it is the correct one, may look smaller when the seat is on.
Will post some more pictures when the bits arrive. Thanks for tuning in.
MCTID:
Spray some underseal on it as it sets 'rubbery' and helps the stones to bounce off rather than 'shotblast' the paint off.....IMHO.
royhall:
Cheers for that Alan. Unfortunately I have used underseal before many years ago. After a while it tends to loose its adhesion to the metal and draws in water underneath which becomes trapped and rots your mudguard. With the Cold Galvanise it will stand scratches and dings and still protect. Hopefully (if it really does what it says on the tin).
Tiny Tim:
Bike looks very good so far Roy.
I'm still waiting for stuff to come back from the chromers, painter has all the tins etc.
It's all at a stand still at the moment.
royhall:
Thanks Tim. Your chromers are taking a while aren't they. It seems like weeks since you sent it out.
