I was thinking you could spray the frame, ducati green frame colour and then make it look like an sfc 750 replica, get yourself some certificates and give it a long list of ex owners that are famous and sell it for 200K, stating its the only green frame sfc in existence , then you will have loads of cash for your other projects? 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣

Hi pf1

I just read through this thread. Good on you!

For teh remaining rusty bits, especially the chrome pipes, chrome chain gaurd, etc, I would suggest this product

www.evapo-rust.com

Best Rust Remover | Remove Rust Quickly with Evapo-Rust®

Evapo-Rust Super Safe Rust Remover is easy to use, environmentally safe product that removes rust in minutes, without scrubbing.
www.evapo-rust.com www.evapo-rust.com

I buy the big pail of Evapo Rust, then pour into suitably shaped containers. Recently I soaked a pair of rusted chrome LaFranconi mufflers, a chrome chain guard, etc.. Rinsed out eh muffler interiors with solvent to try and reduce the carbon crap then submerged the mufflers for a day or two. They came out looking new. Where the rust had deeply penetrated the chrome the rust had made pin holes. Then waxed with metal wax to seal the pin holes, the mufflers look brand new until you look really really closely and notice the pin holes.

Also soaked a full stock exhaust system from my 78 Kawasaki 650 rebuild, came out looking brand new but with a few bare patches where the chrome had completely rusted away.

Highly recomended and well worth a try.

I took the engine back to Ged Shorten with all the additional things I'd bought to replace the destroyed items, I always like looking at the bikes he's working on. One of them today was a beautiful wire wheeled MV 750 America. 300 miles on from a rebuild (not by him) and the engine is Donald Ducked. Blast media in the oil, he reckons it will be a very, very expensive repair, made my SF2 problems seem like nothing at all.
