It's a fairly simple process, basically scrub the part with diluted CLR and some kind of abrasive. I started with a normal household scourer but quickly changed to an industrial scotchbright pad (I think it was grey but I did use a couple of different colours/grades). I think you'll agree the results are quite surprising!
I did take some video of the process but it seems I had some camera settings wrong and the video works fine on my computer but as soon as it gets uploaded to YouTube the audio is out of sync. I haven't been able to find a solution so for now it's just pictures
The inside of the chain case at the engine end has clearly been quite well protected by a build up of chain oil so this section will act as a colour guide if I ever decide to fully restore the bike as the paint is in by far the best condition of any part of the bike
Next on the list is a new flywheel nut......
