Recently I've had decent luck letting tanks soak filled w/ E85, it seems like the alcohol acts pretty well as a solvent to loosen old crud.

Once the crud is out, rust can be eliminated w/ evaporust which seems less aggressive and healthier alternative to phosphoric acid.

Thanks again, I appreciated it!

Andy,

Thank you sir! I appreciate the info.

Thanks for the replies everyone!

Andy, if it's not too much trouble, I'd like to take you up on your offer of weighing your steens frontend.

Take care all!

Greetings, all other factors aside (for now), what did the typical aftermarket earles/leading link front end weigh in comparison to the hodaka forks?

Thanks!
