Hi all-
I have an 83 Heritage Special and the engine case, and forks have this nasty yellow stuff on them that I can't remove. Does anyone have an idea of what to use to make them all shiny?

A paint stripper, applied carefully. Some metal polishing compound and elbow grease. Check this thread out

Hey Mo,
I know this is an old thread, but, what exactly is "applied carefully"?? Is there a problem with getting the thinner on other parts? human parts? my dog's parts??
