Cleaning Inside Of Frame?
« on: Mar 20, 2007, 08:00:35 AM »
I've noticed there's some dirt/sand and crap inside my frame. I want to clean it out so it won't develop into rust issues. From there I'll rust proof the inside of the frame.

What's the best way to clean out the inside of the frame rails? I plan to drill some holes in the under side of the frame rails for drainage because the factory ones don't do a damned thing.

That was my orginal thought.
You never know though, sometimes people have some crazy ideas.
