So this week see's the frame getting the RRC treatment. The first job as always is to get the caked on mud and oil all washed off so that I can see what I'm dealing with. The dirt was presoaked with a caustic APC then agitated and left to work some more before pressure washing off at the most powerful setting.

After drying the frame off I then had to strip the remaining hardware from the bike and I'm sad to say none of it is salvageable so replacements will need to be sourced a little further down the line.

Once all the hardware was safely stored the main frame section could be coated with paint stripper. the plan was to get it sand blasted but sadly it doesn't fit in my cabinet and all of my local blasters wouldn't take it on this close to the holidays so I was stuck stripping the paint of the hard and messy way. luckily however the subframe just fits in my blasting cabinet so I could do that, and when it was all back to bare steel I'm very glad to say there were no horror stories to be found.

The only small repair needing done was on the subframe where the side plastics had worn a groove through the years and created a small pin hole. This was welded up and ground back again and the section was good as new.

After that it was simply a case of hitting it with some primer and paint. The colour is RAL2002 as this is a spot on match for this generation of orange/red Honda's not to be confused with the proper bright red ones of later years.

At this stage I thought it best to protect the inside of the frame too with a little clear cavity wax that stops rust in its tracks.

And that wraps up this episode.

So I hope you will enjoy the first episode of the series and ill see you all again very soon,

Enjoy
