Any ideas (photos included)
ref above
My front discs are rotten! They are spoiling an otherwise very tidy bike.    Is there anything I can do to prepare/paint them? Can't afford new discs.  Thanks |

Use paint stripper to remove the black paint, get a nice 'machined look' like on my GSXR wheel for my front end swap
 A wire brush or wire drill attachment should shift the rust. Soak the disc bolts in viniger or paraffin for a few days will tidy them up. |

In the short term, steel wool to remove the rust. Mkae sure you clean all the debris off afterward.
