cool man thanks for that...
just go through your beast and make sure you have plenty of nice clean earths on the frame. Mine were rusty as, barely even metal on some.
Have you changed your regulator rectifier yet? Better do that first if you haven't already. there are some great articles on the Bikecliff site to help you keep her electrically healthy.

Have a look at your right hand handle bar switch
The wiring runs along a metal edge just
Where the throttle tube sits and I found
All the insulation on a few of my wires had worn
Through... Got her going today, so stoked

Just a quick before and after - got a bit bored while waiting for this fibreglassing to set.
ps, the mould failed miserably, for some reason the "tape' method over the foam wasnt enough of a barrier and it ate away the blue foam. Will just take a lot of bog to rescue the situation but should still be good to go after this next layer of glass sets.

seat turned out better than i thought. Still a **** load of bog and sanding that needs to be done - but held its shape even after the foam failed.
Little bit of trimming here and there... not long now i hope.

Good thread and good work Nik. I doubt that you will be riding this out to Ayers Rock though. Might be a bit hard on the arse.

I'm not a fiberglass specialist but have done it once or twice.
I was wondering if aluminum metal HVAC duct tape wouldn't work for the fiberglass mold? It would be like a layer of aluminum and I can't see it eating through that...

I think it was just a matter of doing many layers of tape - in different directions of overlap. It didnt eat through the tape but must have somehow got inbetween the layers.
Any tape will do. Mine was blue painters tape and it held together - just didnt "seal" properly i guess.

Thanks guys!
Well after successfully failiing at filling the new braking system with fluid, Ill be down one brake calliper. Seems to be a leak at one of the piston seals in the calliper, so off to find a single banjo bolt and get this up and running on at least one brake line for the weekend ride.
Always the little things that slow things down
