Buckets of Elbow Grease

. . . is whats needed for the next task, removing the corrosion and pitting of the alloy frame, Swingarm, Bottom Yoke, Hangers and various brackets.

I decided to do a quick [2 hours] test on a section of the frame. I started out with some wet and dry sandpaper [dont know the grade] to cut back some of the pitting. I then used a polishing kit consisting of 3 discs and 2 grades of paste. I started with the rough disc on the electric drill and finished with the medium disc and a final polish with some elbow grease and a clean rag.

After 2 hours of hard graft the pitting is still visible but the corrosion has been completely removed and this section of the frame looks a little healthier.
