Could us some advice. I've just finished a complete restoration of a '69 Trailbreaker that looked a lot like this one. It looks and runs great now. One thing I haven't been able to do is remove the plugs from the wheels. I don't want to damage them, but they're stuck real bad. Any thoughts?

Pb blaster and a grade 8 washer. You might have to shave the washer down slightly

@@GoUnoGo Many thanks for the advice. The PB blaster didn't get to the threads because of the o-ring seal, and while I tried the washer, I just couldn't break the corroded threads loose. What I ended up doing was to use a small end mill in a dremel tool to increase the depth of the slot so that it was uniform across it's length. This allowed a screw driver socket to be used with an impact wrench. This finally broke both plugs free. It trashed the existing plugs, but I was able to buy new ones from Rokon. Again, thanks for taking the time to make a recommendation.

I would not call that seat "crap-tastic" for a "Ratbike" Rokon that thing is AWESOME. If there is a way to have a good strong clear coat over the rust to protect the metal from further abuse I would go that route so that it shows it's battle scars while functioning.

I hope it was free. That thing was a lawn ornament for sure.

I'll never understand leavin rust on any vehicle, it's ugly and makes it look like the owner couldn't care less about it....otherwise, the Rokon is a very capable bike....🤘🏻🇺🇸
