Have just bought a 97 gs. The abs section on the front disc is v rusty - will this affect the braking. Can anyone recommend a good mechanic/garage in london to look the bike over and see if it needs anything doing...
 
The man to contact if you want the bike checking over is Neil Harrison. He goes by the name of Steptoe on this board. He knows GS's inside out. He is based in South West London, and he has a loan bike available for when he is working on yours.

Rust

Chris -- The rust will have no effect on the ABS sensor - just looks rather unsightly !
However , do not be tempted to powder coat the thing as it needs to retain it's magnetic properties in order to fully function .
If the rust is bothering you a new ring will set you back less than £30 , or you might just be lucky and source a rust free jobbie from a breakers (Motobins ?) . Or , you might try cleaning off the surface rust with a brass brush (as used to clean suede shoes !) and give the cleaned surface a coat of spray on silver anti-rust paint or even primer . Fiddly but cheap and it might do the trick .
Best of luck ,
Jim .
