Re: Alll but finished
Looking good, looks like your plastics were in far worse condition than mine. Excellent work

Re: Alll but finished
Hi Guys
Thank you all for your comments
Toby, you were right there was a lot of damage the bike had been dropped previously, but I did get it cheap.
Not the best of repairs
Glass fibre fairing, but it's good now
After market indicator, not as good as original
Welded from both sides
Then covered n a good layer of araldite at the back to provide rigidity
I'm happy with the result
Do not over tighten!
Takes time to get it right
Putting the blue decal on gave me the right lines for the rest of the paintwork
Ready for painting
Hi Eyrey
I will be putting the number boards on, I messed up first time and if I fail with the next attempt I will paint them on instead
Cheers guys
Mark.

Re: Alll but finished
The number boards are a pain in the arse.
They go on easier dry, but you need to be careful and let the vinyl stretch and follow the shape of the panel.
Next ones I'm painting on!!

Hi Martin
Thanks for the advice, one more go then paint if it goes pear shaped.
Mark
Now I'm noticing my title (Alll), need to wear my glasses!!

Re: Alll but finished
Patience is required!
Use your fingertips (ooh I say!) Not a plastic spreader, and a firm sponge and go millimeters at a time!
Its slow but it works!

Re: Alll but finished
Had another go at the number board today, wasted my money and will now paint it on, On the plus side it flew through the MOT this afternoon with one advisory to tie up a loose cable.
Happy days, ready for the nice weather!

My hornet is still the best bike I have ever owned, but not as much fun as the KR1S, I was really surprised when those power valves opened and it went mental.
