I used rust remover gel on the outside of the gas tank and Evaporust inside of the tank plus a couple dozen roofing nails inside the tank and then slosh the tank around to remove the rust from the inside. I may get another gas cap since the one that came with the Ebay gas tank was dented. I am using rust remover jelly covered with wet with rust remover paper towels on the inside of the front chrome fender to clean it up. Once clean I will clear coat it to prevent further rusting. I have a slight dent in the front fender that I will try and work out by trying to shape it by hand with a rubber mallet as an anvil.
I am also soaking the side reflectors for the headlight to remove the rust from the backside and edge. The bike was missing the original Rupp headlight assembly and headlamp but It came with a 5 inch Chrome edge Yamaha headlight assembly. I will find a powerful 5 inch LED headlight and a strong 12 volt rechargeable LED battery to power the lights with the stock headlamp switch that I will buy.
