Recently purchased a Suzuki AY50 and there is a tiny bit of rusting to the front forks. Anyone know any products that I can use to treat/prevent rust?

i assuming you mean the sanctions? (the shiny chrome tubes?) Just wipe them down with a kitchen cloth and wd40.

Proper cleaning and better protection would be autosol.

Generally if the chrome has pitted then theres not much you can do other than keep cleaning.

OR (expenisve)

Get new fork tubes (sanctions) or re-chrome them

Rust converting compound from Hammerite. Halfrauds sell the stuff but look for it cheaper if you can be arsed.

The theory is you paint the stuff on and it turns the rust blue black so you can paint it.

Scottoiler 365 spray keeps rust at bay. Even if you're Gay....

(365 for No. of 24hr periods in a non leap year.)
