What do you all recommend for removing spots of rust on the exposed metal parts of the frame / upper forks and stem?

aluminium foil, just get a small piece and gently rub the surface then polish with metal polish  :thumb: :cheers:

Nevr-dul, to leech out the rust from under paint and chrome.  Doesn't scratch.
The motorcycle is no longer the hobby, the skill has become the hobby.

Power does not compare to skill.  What good is power without the skill to use it?
