i think royal enfield swingarm easier to get , you sometime need to wait on ebay for right affordable parts ? what is tyre you are planning to put 4.0 x 18 ?

Hi Guys
I have no shed at the moment. I have Honda TL125/Kawasaki F11 project.
i have parked the bikes for winter in my friend half open storage. they started to rust badly.
how to save/protect chrome forks leg/wheels your ideas and thoughts are welcome
My ideas
> Use some sort of temporary paint may be and that can be removed later , when i re-commission the bike ??
> Grease ?
> WD40 ?
what else can be done. your ideas and thoughts ?
Regards

@scifi
I like WW2 bikes Norton 16H , M20/Ariel WNG/RE Model C etc i wish i can born in 1940s ?

@Scifi
I agreed . i have seen the some early videos . there is no doubt the Britain is the pioneers of this sport.
vintage bikes all have bit of character, which i fell in love with. we are loosing that. i guess. in few years time we will be hopping on similar looking electric bikes only .. no sound no joy for me .. sorry thats my own opinion

Hi section swept
Perfect Bultaco M80 Sherpa , i love them
Any bike actually. which is proper trials bike , yes you are right , these are DR200 suzuki type forks. already did parts swap and got this , want to use them if possible
