    Atf-acetone...

    Rather than just oil, try ATF*. The anti-oxide components in ATF make it much better at cleaning any rust off the insides of an engine. I use a 50/50 mix of ATF and Acetone to loosen rusted bolts, etc. Works better that almost ANY store bought spray can.
    *Automatic Transmission Fluid, the cheaper the better.
    I like that tip!!!!!Thanks!!!!

      Lube it.

      Thank you for the info men.
      I do use the 15 / 40 HD diesel oil in the bikes. Have not changed the oil and filter in Laramie so far.

        Need parts.

        I need: Brake cylinder kits, brake pads, brake pistons, fuel taps that have the on / off / prime positions, tyres. Any suggestions who has these bits that are not made in China. I could use taps with just an on / off and block the suction hole, but that would eliminate reserve.
        I will check locally if they can make brakes hoses, but if they are available online?

        Meanwhile Yami the 79 XS11 Special broke a header pipe. Mac 4 into 1 about four years old. Bought chrome that promptly rusted. Yami ran good on these pipes. Headers are thin wall.
        Spare MNS came with 4 into 1 Kerker. They are now on Yami. They look like a better build. I still need to pull the baffle out to remove rust that is floating around. Yami runs okay on these, but still need to do a freeway run.
