[QUOTE="Dean Grace, post: 53335, member: 3102"] I'm sitting on the fence with this one, on one side I can certainly see the point of cleaning it up and making it look all shiny and new; but on the other side as soon as you do clean it up it will lose all the character that it has right now, that bike looks like it has a lot of history hidden on/in it and as soon as it gets cleaned up and repainted all that history gets taken away from it too never to be seen again. At the end of the day it is yours and yours alone too do with what you want, no one has the right to dictate to you what you should or shouldn't do. [/QUOTE]
