Norton cleaning

I had been using my normally immaculate Commando for frequent 100 mile round trips and on one occasion, needed to use it for work when the moist winter roads, which I considered dry enough to not incur salt damage, proved to be not the case. Here I show how you can get a slightly corroded bike back to looking like the garage queen people suspect it to be.

Nice work Sir! I generally put my Commando away at first signs of salt on the roads, but last year got caught in some salted bits. Not much corrosion but enough to make me clean & polish it. My bike has chromed rocker covers and primary/timing cases, so a lot easier to maintain. I see you have an oil tap on the feed line to stop the wet sumping. My bike will drain all oil from tank to sump within 7-10 days, so I also run a tap on the feed line. And since I can never trust the loose nut on the handlebars, I fit an electrical switch into the ignition power circuit (in series with the kill switch) to the tap to prevent start ups if the oil is shut off.

I am more concerned that those who will inherit my bikes will fail to turn the oil on. I Have these on a couple of my bikes so am used to turning the oil on as much as the petrol, plus I have just the one battery I swap from bike to bike which I have "OIL" written on the side in big letters, plus I have a red leather fobs with "OIL" embossed that I fit around the handlebars, Plus I have "OIL" in big letters written by the padlock when they are stored outside. Actually I think your way sounds a lot less trouble. My Commando I fitted a brand new old stock oil pump, it still wet sumps in no time at all.
