Cheers guys. :daumenhoch:

Anyone have any tips on how to clean up the Saddle top, it almost looks like it's been sprayed as the black scrapes off?

Looking very nice so far, the chrome has come back to life nicely.

You could try scrubbing the seat with bleach and giving it a light polish, you might have to dye it again though.

All done.

I was keen to resto most of the parts but add a little colour, although I have retained original Black 890's, DC levers, SR clamp, pedals, pads and IRC tyre in case I want to put it back to factory spec.
