The only new part I'm fitting at the back is new disc and pads. I did it for peace of mind and to stop it getting worse. When the paint is bubbling and flaking with rust underneath it, you don't know how bad the rust underneath has got until you strip the paint off and start rubbing away the rust. But it was just surface rust and the integrity of the frame is good. Also wanted to re-grease all the swingarm and rear suspension and make sure it was all torqued properly. Cleaned everything before I put it back together too, so underneath the front sprocket cover is clean, the chain has had a parrafin bath, swingarm linkages shiny, etc, etc.
