Japanese Bikes / Removing paint
« on: March 11, 2012, 10:38:37 PM »
 :) Looking for any ideas that will help me strip the old paint of my bike.
Nitromor is not strong enough, do not want to us a hot air gun or sanding her down. Thinking more inline with aircraft paint stripper?  :-\

British Bikes / Paint Removal
« on: March 11, 2012, 10:34:06 PM »
 :) Hi, I'm hoping to re-spray my bike but have trouble trying to remove the original paint from her, I would like to give her a deeper red and would prefer to strip off all the original paint from her first, As there have been a few botch ups from a previous owner in her past. Nitromors is not strong enough and I am thinking more inline with aircraft paint stripper,  :-\I do not want to use a hot air gun or sanding if it can be helped.
Any ideas ?

unfortunitley I don't think that people would like to see an updated piccie of my cassie .
It got pinched last week and they ripped out all the electrics from the Bosch Flywheel Magneto , thankfully I managed to start the engine with a lot of help from a friend ( still sounds good ) .
but because the front light unit, back tailight unit have been ripped of the frame
it has left me with a humdinger the wiring is still intact from the magneto but because it has been cut I have no idea how to rewire it back ( when I get new light units ) .
Me and my mate figured out the wire for the HT Coil , 2 brews a few choice words about the offenders and much perseverance .
I would appreciate some advice ( diagram would be nicer) as the wires are coloured coded from a previous owner , but do not know who that owner was or when . 
Casal K270 1973 model from portugal ..
So in the meantime I will still show her off from her glory days and not what she looks like now ( cassie does have feelings !!)

Thanx 4 speedy reply  :)
As I live in good old Blighty , then 151.5cc it is !
will modern 2 stroke cause any problems ( additives and synthetics ) taken into account or will I be better off with an old and trusted 2 stroke oil ( if there is any about )
awaiting in anticipation

What is the amount of oil do I need if it says on petrol cap 30:1
taking in to account the bike is from 1973 ( pre metric )
1 gallon = how much 2 stroke ? ???
