frame

I have a couple of different Honda bikes that I'm working on but currently I'm focused on my 1993 Honda XR 250. I've got it down to the frame and it's time to remove the stock paint and after some research I tried to use Aircraft (paint remover) to chemically remove the paint. After a couple of...

Hello everyone, This is my first motorcycle restoration, I recently bought a 1982 Honda CB125s and plan on doing a Cafe Racer build. I just finished taking it down to the frame and noticed minor amounts of surface rust just above where the swing arm connects to the frame itself. It's far too...
