Time for me to move on.

petersy:
I find that the spokes come up a treat with a scouring pad.

I used 3 types on my CB550, red , green and grey, depending on how bad they are pitted.

It takes some time to do each individual spoke, but it's worth it in the end.

Trigger:
Les, the CBR is a bullet proof engine as long it has it has been serviced right. Things to look out for are the disc crack beween the holes when they start to get on the thin side. Good chain and sprocket kit can set you back £75+  ;)

LesterPiglet:
I did that and I'm sorry I did. Rusted 100 times quicker.

r/w/b bike is a 1 owner 19000 mile bike Trig. Going to see it tomorrow

Green1:
Can't go far wrong with a CBR Les I know someone that buys them almost religiously I think the last one he sold had one hundred thousand on it.
They seem to be bolted together well and stand up to being left outside quit well.
