OP Kris Complete Newb Joined: May 2011 Posts: 17 Los Angeles	I have some pretty minor surface rust on a few of my chrome parts. I just bought the bike and would like to spend some time removing the rust. Any recommendations on the best way to do it without scratching the chrome? You got to learn how to drive with the fear, and there ain't nothing more god damned frightening than driving with a live cougar

If you are sceptical try it on a small unnoticeable area like the bottom of the clutch cover. I have no faith in human perfectability. I think that human exertion will have no appreciable effect upon humanity. Man is now only more active - not more happy - nor more wise, than he was 6000 years ago. Edgar Allan Poe
