Rat tips

[SpannerMonkey]

So my GN is dying rapidly, Chrome rusting over... bits breaking and just generally falling apart. My options are to sell it (I'll probably only get about 200 if I sell it) so that's not really an option haha run it into the ground without bothering with it.... Or fix up the bare minimum, which brings me up to the Rat idea.

I'm thinking of spraying all the chrome pounland-matt-black... once the forks are sorted, some cheapo black gaitors... Any other tips to decrease maintainance?

rat dont have to be black mate its more about not giveing a fuck just ride it if something falls off and you dont need it fuck it rat oiler works like a scottoiler but only costs 99p not £100

if you really want it to stop rusting then go over all the rust patches with a wire brush then Kurust the bad bads, when that process is all done cover the lot in either bitumen/underbody sealant or red oxide primer, it'l last for ages with any of that stuff on it.

Cheers

John, I must say, you're rather supportive, as are you rob. You guys got any decent tips for me? =P

[blurredman]

Someone call? I'm not black but whatever


Do what you feels best Alex. If you're sure you're only going to get 200 lollies for it why not make sure it is just maintained?

I had an old Suzuki GT 250 that was very tatty but mechanically sound and I just used to paint it with Black or silver paint when a rusty bit popped up and I used a brush .

Everything else just got a squirt of squirty oil and a wipe over to keep the weather at bay.
I only ever did basic maintenance on that bike and it lasted for ages.

although it looked sh*t, it was still going strong when I sold it


Why not do the same
