I've been riding my bike off and on over the winter here in Ohio and just had it out today. When I got home I noticed some surface rust on my foot peg brackets and on the shift linkage. Any one no if this can be polished off and if so whats the best polish to use?

 

WD-40 and ultra-fine steel wool will do wonders on surface rust. Not to mention if your working around areas with joints or sharp corners that you cant reach into, it won't dry up leaving white crap like polishes will.

 

same here...theres actually a few spots on the frame that arent covered with paint....foot peg brackets and around the belt gaurd . i had to tuch them up with some gloss black before the rust stopped. its good now. brian
