or any ktm dealership and ask for 690 seals. I've paid 15 quid for single front and rear original brembo kits.

Hi I
I hadn't got around to engine paint yet!.
Actually I was going to ask on here about paint for the motor as this wee bikie needs cleaned up .
I have no experience of fixing engine paint as I usually DROWN my bikes wi Acf 50 and I have never had this sort of deterioration

Anyone know how to tidy up the front of a tenere that's not ( till now) been looked after ?
Seems quite a well made thing apart from the paint finishes disappearing (thumbs)
