once they blu then the chrome is discoloured you might be able to polish it to reduce the bluing effect but you will not cure it

 

Ok was worth asking, i can get it shiny after a lot of polishing.


P.s i still have the er5 i might keep it until i pass, i had a proper ride on friends private road!! So its in storage ready to ride in the future

Sure it isn't your old one ;)

It was brought from kawasaki dealer in 1997 its a ex show room bike 1984 b1 it was last road worthy in 1998 then i stumbled a cross it in 2011 in a corner of a breakers yard and paid £250 then 280£ on a spares engine.

I will revile the reg plate later on


I am 2nd owner on paper work, i am sure it has changed hands many times off paper work

try vinegar on the blueing, I had a 1984 unrestricted one, 85mph(on the clock) flat out, it was cheaper than a restricted one
