I got her running, now I need to make her pretty. Can anyone share how they detail the motor on a first gen. The black has gotten chalky and gray. Will the same product work on the inside of the wheels? BTY, I have enjoyed the forum very much. Rebuilding this bike has been a great stress release, not to mention Magna's are my favorite.
Try some S100 engine brightener http://www.s100.com/s100_eb.htm, has worked very well for me. I use it on the engine as well as plastic parts.
Be careful to rinse very completely when using S100. It is a good cleaner that will do a nice job, but needs to be rinsed for a long time. I used it and didn't rinse completely and my handlebar controls gummed up and stoped working. Cleaned the bike and got a lesson on how my controls work.
