Today cleaning up painting and putting parts on motorcycle.

I started to put some parts baclk on the bike today after cleaning them up some. I think they will not get back to really great condition. I will have to maybe replace them or rechrome some of the parts. I am not sure yet on how clean I can get the chrome or aluminum or just how to do it the right way. Still learning on this process. I put the inner lower rear fender guard on, rear shocks, rear fender, rear signal lights, and rear brake light back on bike. It took me most of the day to sand and to repaint parts and to clean the others up.

Here is a knit hat for our sons teddybear, orange is wearing it.



Here are my shocks before I cleaned them up. I forgot to take photos after I cleaned them.



I pulled the speedometer and tach open to clean them up and the mounting bracket and check light bulbs key switch out.



After I cleaned up and started to put them back together.



The underside of the rear fender was very rusty so I tried to just paint it black to ehlp prevent further rusting. I am not sure if this will work or not but it made it look much better.



I sanded the rust off the rear fender and it is still pitted maybe I should use a buffer and a rubbing compound if so it is easy to remove and fix it later. I am just trying to get it really clean to hopefully restore better as time goes on.
