Still need to go through the whole thing but I got the front fender mounted correctly, cleaned the wheels a bit and put some new tires on it so it is ridable now. Woohoooo!
Nice Adam! I notice your bike has a curved down tube whereas mine is straight. I'm not sure exactly what the difference is there. Were they building both style frames at the same time or is that two different years?
Just did a little cleaning on the springer parts. I used paint thinner and a brass brush to scrub the loose and dusty looking stuff off. The springer strut and spring cleaned up nicely! I actually cleaned the truss rods as well, but they are painted so they don't look too much different. But they are clean!
Hi, I see you got a real beauty there and I wanted to share something I discovered here on the CABE. You may know already, but if you use WD40 on all the painted areas it will look real rich. I used 600 wet and dry sandpaper very carefully on my 41 Roadmaster, and I am super happy with the results. Yes, dust does collect on it easier, but I just wipe it down every few weeks so it always look "wet" and wipe off the excess. Polishes seem to just collect in the cracked/Mature finish and leave a chalky look.
Thanks for the tip Mike! That's a sweet looking Roadmaster! I see you are in Manhattan Beach. I am in Redondo. We should hook up for a ride some time! Maybe we can even get a few more SoBay'ers to join in.
Thanks for that enlightenment! Now I know why there's a wire going down to the rear hub of my Hawthorne. Thought it was some kind of ground wire before.
