Hi all!
This is my first post here, pleased to meet you all.
I'm after a bit of advice. I'm a bit of an amateur mechanic and have come into an old Yamaha XJ650 that has spent some years out in the weather here in Wellington, New Zealand.
As a result, the engine and rear drum brake housing are pretty extensively oxidised. I understand this will never be returned to it's former glory, but I'm wondering if anyone has encountered this before and how you went about remedying the problem to make it a tad more sightly?
Seems there are mixed opinions around on the best way to handle this, so looking for some first hand advice. Many thanks!

Woah, Fastbob, those results speak for themselves. Seems like there won't be any shortcuts here. Will just need to spend the time and effort.
Thanks heaps for your advice thus far.
