so im building myself a very good condition, part restoration 89 fzr exup from 3 bikes. on my bike every single chassis bearing has been replaced and any 95% of the steel on it powder coated. i have zx9r fully adjustable fork internals in my fzr forks all new and rebuilt.
i have two questions 1 is should i polish the frame when it is not a complete bike and how much effort/time will it take.
The second thing is what to do with the rear shock. do i
a. fully rebuild original shock and powdercoat the spring.
b. buy an aftermarket one...nitron/yss/hyperpro.
c. put a more modern shock off a more modern bike...but what is a good fit and works as it should?
