BobbyH Posted January 26 Report Share Posted January 26 Hey all! Inhavr decided to get my XJ6 out of my sisters garage for the first time in 2 years. Now the engine case, fork legs and mirror stems are corroded like this….. Is there anything I can do do get rid of it maybe, it is it gone and need replacing/powdercoating?

TIGHTCHOKE Posted January 27 Report Share Posted January 27 You don't have time for tarting up a motorcycle you've got cartridges and guns to test. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should check if home loads are permitted on your choice of sporting ground some don’t allow for the use or home loaded cartridges 🤔 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
