Ah Florence, I just read some "scientific" experiments... here is what they did. I believe it was a "flawed experiment"  They got some people and strapped these things on their arms, what these things did was display numbers that flashed quicker and quicker, the Idea being in "normal time" they would flash way  too quick for anyone to be able to read.
Then, they got these folk and dropped them from a great height, but dig this; onto a safety net
The folk that were dropped had to look at their wrists to see if they could read the fast numbers.

But of course the folk that were dropped were never really in fear of mortal danger, they knew they were ultimately safe.  So, when they reported back that time did not "slow down for them" and they could not read the quickly flashing numbers, the scientists concluded that it doesn't happen !!

I understand the adrenalin thing, dont get me wrong, chemical changes in the body do have powerfull effects, but that (to me anyways) still doesn't explain how in that "nano second" of time stop, some folk see many possible options of what to do, can see them all played out, and choose one that will cause the least damage. It's this "seeing future events" thing that has me totally intrigued..

I just got sent a book, in it an air force pilot describes how taking off from an aircraft carrier one day, at the very last moment of "Throttling back" he knew something was totally wrong.....
As the aircraft left the carrier at much less than the required speed, he details the next eight seconds.
The next "eight seconds" involved such life saving complexity, that it took him 45 minits to relate it.
Imagine, what must have happened in eight short seconds to take 45 minits to explain it?

Guys, I know this may seem a tad strange, but I am being totally serious, and request your experiences to add to my own in this matter..
It concerns accidents, accidents on motorcycles that involve something strange happening...

The "slowing down of time to an almost stop" and the ability to be able to see many possible "Futures"
More, the ability during this strange phenomenom to be able to "choose" one of those "Futures"
(Usually the one that will do you the least damage)

If this has ever happened to you, will you tell me about it please? and if it hasn't, or you dont know what I am talking about, please just ignore.

I am trying to collect as much evidence as possible, and am at odds with "scientific types" on another forum who claim it doesn't happen.

Thanks.

one way to do it, ( there will be others) is to tack weld a home made draw hammer on. ("T" bar with sliding weight)  Or tack braise it on.  draw out the dint, and then untack the draw bar.
That will get you a result that will require the absolute minimum of filling.
A small "skim" of filler should not be a problem?

The cb750 SoHc F2 will fit as will what the USA guys call F3 (just a later F2!) check out UKpete, he may have a spare, I cannot remember how many I gave him in a job lot of stuff, but its possible. Pm him and ask, hes a sound guy. cannot remember about the cb900 , but I am sure someone will know.

On my cb750 f2 it was screwed in, if that was a modification, then you could drill yours out and tap to except a 6mm?  nipple from most cars.

Bob. rechroming depends on so much...
A good rechromer will tell you if the parts you show them are worth rechroming..
It starts there.
A lot of parts are not, and should not be attempted..
Once the old chrome has been stripped off, only then can the "worthyness" of the part be properly assessed.
And thats just the start.. I personally have come across stories of old chrome being "ground off" (OW)
Once the chrome is off, the better the metal is polished, the better the end result.
So allready, we have three skills involved; Assessing if its possible, carefull stripping, polishing.
And thats all before plating.
Like you say recomendations vary, there are stories of long waits, there are also stories of lost parts.
There are stories of excellent service, and stories of shoddy outfits in general.
It does seem like a minefield.
Personally, I found an outfit here in Wales that are not only excellent, but very reasonable.
There main operation is chroming of bathroom fittings, like say heated  towel rails, taps and the like, when I took stuff there like a brake lever and pair of handlebars and headlight ears, they would say, "It will go in with the next batch say a week on tuesday"
And they were true to their word, I took the stuff in and picked it up though.
It has been a long time, so I will need to ring them up to check if they are still in operation.
I can do that tommorrow as its 5.30 now.
will report back for you.

Its meant to take your mind off the problem.
If humour doesn't help sorry.
I thought you could laugh at my misfortune.
Here is some relaxing music from The Enid instead.

I know it all adds up bro, I just had to bite on the 67 p bit...
It might get worse... Has anyone asked D.silver how the supplies from Japan are at the moment?
like after the meltdown of the reactors etc.
I reckon the re-manufature of new cars and bikes will come first and "our" spares might be last on the list..
It's possible they could get dearer....?
BryanJ  I do need those clips (all 8 ) for my K2 so will take your advice.
