Beautiful motorcycles Mr. MKK. Would like to see more pictures of Before and After restoration and a few tips about restoration. Tips like getting spares, what do you concentrate first while restoring a bike, and various other stuff. Ok, here is my first question.

While restoring a Jawa/Yezdi most people buff or chrome the engine covers or probably paint it silver. What is the correct form of coating/plating done on the original ones and do they do them anymore?

Its nice to see Tuffryder here !!
Yes, I'll post "Restoration Procedure" I do follow in restoring bikes, let me take some time to gather my breath and sit down, with my INDEX finger

, to do the write up.
Regarding ,Jawa/ yezdi engine cases(?), complete engine & G box unit are to be "Argenised" ( except Cylinder).
This Argenising is nothing but a ENAMEL BASE Aluminum painting without any under coat priming.
At manufacturing units, all the Aluminum componets (in this case our engine covers), after maching to the drawing,they were washed with some special methods & then Argenised.( But this kind of Argenising has been elminated & special " Heat Resistant Paint" is used in modern machines)
ps: Chrome plating to covers is mostly done by "Chopper Builders",
Leaving alone the pros & cons of Chrome plating, it is very difficult to do to components like engine & Gear box cases with intricate shapes & profiles by Conventional Plating techniques

great collection. but i think all these posts need to be in some other section with a dedicated thread for your collection so that the discussion can carry on. in 'who are you' section this thread easily gets pushed down. mods should be able to help you.
