Finally riding a big boys bike
Hi
I’ve got two bikes I’m going to tackle soon and with the first one, I’m going to try the Oxalic bath. Been reading a CB lit of VM posts here (thanks to all for the great info in these posts), but my question is about the headbadge . Both badges have enough paint on them and look good. ( no replace necessary)
BUT , I’d like not to remove them IF the OA bath does not affect them. It appears both badges have never been off the bikes and I’d like it to stay that way. If that is t possible or the OA will harm the paint in the badge , maybe there is another way. Any advice would be appreciated.
The first bike I’m tackling is pictured below (I have the correct rack, chain guard and McCauley fenders to do as well from other sources), and again, open to other solutions or methods.
Thanks in advance!
Mike
