give me some advice on my CB500

[carlmalibu]

Hello guys, very much considering making a little project out of my CB, though not sure what to do...

Since it was knocked over and the left hand side of the back fairing got scratched up (decals ruined, some nasty deep scratching of plastics)

It's currently pretty standard, but was considering some things...

Renthal bars (though according to the website they dont have bars to fit? Can I bodge this?) Doing something with the wheels...no matter how much i clean/polish they end up a kind of murky grey.

The paint colour atm is a pretty nasty beige/yellow, so was thinking of giving the whole thing a going over with a spraygun - any ideas of schemes/colours welcome...

How could I tidy the tail up? (considering its not really the kind of bike that you can get tail tidies for).

Also the downpipes/silencer are in dire need of a scrub down and repaint, mild steel and I don't want it to rot.

Also, the engine casings look like they're corroding (clutch cover and sprocket cover) is there anything short of buying new ones that I can do with these? Cheers for advice
