It must of been the new tyre looking pretty and the fact that the weather has been rainy/ overcast since last Monday. I know that I am probably creating a monster but the Rats Nest is looking more unloved than usual. Most of the Vetter mounting hardware was pretty rusty so I had always wanted to change as much to stainless as possible.
All the fuel pump screws, some of the Carby cover guard screws and the washers under the intake manifold runner bolts were rusty/ tarnished.
I also have surface oxidisation that needs a polish up around these same areas. I have ordered new brake pads as the rear ones are getting close to the end and the front will soon be changing to 82 twin pot calipers. The front will also get progressive springs and a gl1000 front metal guard.
