Recently acquired a '26 J that was in static display for 20 or so years. The previous owner ran it through the gears, so I know it runs and shifts, but he bypassed the fuel tanks as they need a good cleaning.
Assuming they are original sheet metal, what is the best way to clean the inside from rust and varnish? I did a caswell job to my '59 BSA, but I'm thinking I need to be more careful with a 90 year old bike.
I'd also like to install a side stand and a hand clutch lever.
Thanks in advance, especially to the guys who have already been so helpful (Joe, Mark, Dan and Mudfish), Pete
