slight mishap.

(1/2) > >>

mickwinf:
was working on Lazerus the 500 four last week, I had to re-paint the fuel tank due to some reaction under the laquer and had a friend who has the gear for 2-pack said he would do it for me. Unfortunately he seems to have lost interest so took it to a local paint shop. they quoted £500 for tank and side covers which I was a bit shocked by and could not do it for ages. so did it myself again with spraycans and turned out nice, so decided to treat it to new badges and cap. Stripes came from Pici of this forum, badges from nurse Julie and cap from David Silvers. Waiting on side panel badges to finish off. also fitted a new kickstart rubber again from Julie, quite amusing it has "kickstart" embossed into it. Futher to another post about squealing brake, i chamfered the pads and cleaned the paint off the edges, then silicone grease on moving parts and rear of pad. so far so good, no noise at all. And the mishap? taking it off the ramp I left the side stand down which caught on the ramp and I dropped it over. first thought was oh no! my tank, but it was unscathed. Unfortunately it fell on the rear mudguard against the bench and dented it although i have bent it back it still has a small dent. bugger.
