I pulled apart the front wheel last night, ie spokes out etc. Gave the hub a good polish up. Man, it's amazing how much crude the fins on the inside of the hub collect 46 years worth !!
I'll be replacing the spokes and getting the front rim rechromed. It's not too bad but does have pits and speckles of rust here and there.

Decided to do one complete part at a time so as not to have a thousand pieces all over the garage floor.


I'll do a progress report and photos if anyone here is interested.

(BTW, Uma is my 1963 Yamaha YG-1 (72cc of raw grunt))
