I had used the Kreem before I took it to the painter. It only had one dent in the top, so I don' think that was the cause. From the way it is falling off inside, I don't think I did good enough job prepping it. I'll not make that mistake again. Leaning towards the Caswell. I like the idea of epoxy.

Hey Mel, with the Caswell it sounds like you really do not have to get rid of all the rust. Is that true and how is your tank holding up?

Hi all, I'm getting to the final stages of my 71 R75 rebuild. I tried using Kreem in the fuel tank as the original lining in it had started coming off. The Kreem has pulled loose as well. Has anyone tried the POR 15 motorcycle tank treatment? I used some POR 15 on exterior rust once and seemed to wo...

You couldn't replace them with new for less than that, so if you like the bars, go for it. edit: just make sure the final diameter on the perch area is close to 22mm when it is done. Have you ever tried "S" or "Euro" bars? They give the bike an entirely different feel. I have be...

In the process of rebuilding my R75 I was looking at replacing the handlebars as they a in pretty bad shape chrome wise. They have Magura L452 stamped on the left side. Are these original to this year or something that someone has just put on ? I'd like to get them rechromed as they are very heavy d...

After completely disassembling my R75 and now in the process of putting back together is there a correct way to route the wiring harness and control cables. I have searched without much success. I have looked at Melville's project pics and it appears to be routed down the left side of the frame alth...
