I just picked up a 1997 CR125 that I am planning on doing a full restore on. I have been wanting one of these bikes bad for a long time. When I was a kid I was obsessed with the factory honda bikes that MC Lambson and Henry were riding and have wanted to get one ever since. I have done a couple of full restorations in the past that did turn out very nice I would just like some opinions on different ways to go about cleaning up these old parts much more efficiently then I have done in the past ( wire brush and gas ). I have been looking into cheap sand/media blasters, anyone have any experience using one of these for engine cases, hubs, frame ect.. and if so what kind of media do you use for blasting? I would like to be able to refurb the tank and air box as well, I figure a lot of hand sanding and smoothing will get out most of the color and nicks but what would I use for polishing to get it close to a new finish? Thanks for any info or help!
