both are gone. can't figure how to delete post.

Nelly - normally 60/40 worries me yeah, but on that occasion I'm more worried about the sanity of the charge nurse. mind you in that particular (very rural) hospital I've had some whack phonecalls - like "doctor, this is not an emergency or anything, but when you have time could you take a...

Hey just thought I'd add a little follow up. I did the two last coats of clear yesterday and experimented with heating up the parts with the heatgun before spraying and it worked a treat! I just gave it a couple of minutes while rattling the can and made sure it was kinda lukewarm before...

just one follow up> I went and did the heat gun thing over the past two days (had to get a 40m extension cord first!) and I was surprised to see that it worked - the clear coat over the silver is now truly clear. It took maybe 8 or 9 hours on the crank case cover with a heat gun on 1000W setting...

had to check your profile - you're in Ireland. That explains it :D also I run Motovation fork, frame and rear sliders and have used them ones in a lowside on one occassion - very happy I had them on, the frame one not only saved my bike except for the bar end, they also saved my slow moving...

dang.....some weird and wonderful mods on there, but really if you're going round the world like that, wouldn't it make more sense to either a)get the extra two wheels and call it a car or b) get the extra two wheels and ride a bike each? anyway. Have to ask though - anyone with any idea as...

oh and PS if you're doing a -1 up front consider a speedo healer to keep your speedo readings straight! (for the umpteenth time see threads on here Blah)

Well I'd say try to do most of it yourself. Aside from the plugs and the Stebel I've done all of the above myself and I'm from a not very mechanical background and this is my first bike. You need very basic tools (proper torque wrench, allen wrenches etc) and ze interwebzz. For the valve...

hey again yeah I read it. thing is unfortunately I don't have electricity anywhere close to the garage (long story let me tell you) so no heat lamp without moving the bike (or removing the crank case cover which is a major hassle). I removed one of the smaller items (the lever) and got it...

argh this is really cramping my style - I am doing three different things at the moment and getting the same basic error with all three. 1. respraying a damaged panel on my car (all original brand name colors and clear) 2. repsraying the parts in the post above 3. respraying a scuffed end...

+1 on the last - it is not the hardest mod, but makes such a difference at night.

ok thanks I'll definitely try that first! Could it be that I should just levave it to dry out for a week even? :thumbup:

oh and maybe the temps being what they are I should have allowed a lot longer for drying? anyway thanks for all the replies - motogiro you are an understated genius :) unfortunately the oven and the garage are way waaaay too far apart for me to cure stuff in oven but I might just try the...
