Is the pan completely fubard. ...Have you not a potion in your arsenal you could coat it with...to contain all the crud ..kind off gel coat to keep it contained ..I'm following this thread closely as I have a UK Registered k0 in bits and I'm considering what's the best route to take with it..I'm slowly collecting the parts and seeing how you are marching forward at an outstanding rate is tipping me to dig it out and start it. ...or at least piece it together ...
Ash where do you get your alumium powder filled epoxy resinpete
Well I know what caused the original mudguard to split, some owner in the past mounted a rear rack on the bike, I'd forgotten that at one time I had a rack on my K reg that mounted onto the rear struts but also for some reason the 2 bolts holding the rear light to the rear light bracket. I always used to carry loads of stuff in my topbox in those days and eventually the weight constantly banging up and down on the rear light split the mudguard in exactly the same way as yours. As for silver solder, yeah that sounds like it would work. If possible knock the dent out from the other side, braze some silver solder onto the area afterwards and file/sand it smooth so you can rechrome over the top of it. You'd have to have the present chrome stripped off first I suppose to allow the solder to grip the metal but afterwards the result should be undectable.Will have a think on prices. Not 100% sure on whether I want to sell the NOS one as I keep thinking I may just restore my L reg bike again and I've sold the rear guard that was on that to Graham, along with my set of NOS exhausts I was saving for it and my NOS seat as well, damn I've sold a lot of my parts I was saving for that bike
