hi all just got a swing arm off a vfr and it needs a good clean up what have any body on here used to clean cast alloy i want it to be back to original finish don't want to polish or paint it cheers

Muc off spray and a scrubbing brush, or bottle of washing up liquied and an old rag..

Really depends how bad or rusty the arm is...

What VFR year is it, and do you have pics ?

[JAZZOMAN]

yes its off a 1991 rc 36 ill put pics on later its just ground in muck and oil very difficult to bring back to a nice finish so trying stuff in small areas

MucOff and old toothbrush. Seconded 

[Froudy]

White spirit or diesel plus a tooth brush, then Muc Off with tooth brush

When it comes to fitting have a read of this project build, I think the vfr swing arm is around page 30 from memory:

[JAZZOMAN]

here you go pal pics as promised i believe its off a 91 model (fl)?

Looks like a Pre 94, photo of the shock linkage will confirm that....

Fitted a post 94 to a mk2, think in the end the PRE 94 would have been an easier option due to the linkage set-up.

Have fun fitting, and dont forget you can fit a CAR wheel to that swingarm..
