Wow, impressive work. It's great to see non-mainstream bikes getting that kind of attention.
Alot of people don't know I'm a closet Kuwie fan:) and that I have two NOS bravo's.

..as far as rust goes I use a few different methods depending on how bad it is...my favorte stuff is a paste called Quick Glo..works great and doesnt scratch...next would be fine steel wool..and for really crusty areas I spray it with some WD40, scrape it gently with a screwdriver and then use the other two methods,,youd be supprised to see the chrome hiding under a big rust spot, it tends to spread from smaller pits..
