I had to rewire pretty much the entire loom due to some 'creative' wiring by some previous owner. To make things easier I removed the subframe. While it was off I thought I'd clean it up a bit, as it was pretty nasty. About 2 hours total time, a little elbow grease (the best kind!) and a lick of paint. Turned out pretty tidy I think. :-)

Used a combination of wire brush, wire drill attachment, and steel wool to remove all rust on the frame. Unfortunately the pictures didn't turn out at all (shed lighting ain't so great). So, instead you have the primed and painted frame, ready to install

Was doing a little "rewiring". Also threw a lick of paint on the seat lever and rear box bracket. Added a strap to the rear box as well to keep junk from bouncing around.
