Found a design fault yesterday with the new front fender.
The gap between the tyre and the fender is approx 1/2 an inch but when I stopped after a run up to 230 kph
[ 145mph] I noticed that the new paint had blistered along the centre of the fender. So that just goes to show how much the tyres expand.BUT that is NOTHING compared to what happened when I got home. I parked the bike in its shed and closed the door and was playing soccer with my grandson kicking the ball against the shed door when I heard a noise from inside, when I opened the door I found the one of the original rocket pipes had fallen of a shelf and punched a hole in the rear fender between the single seat and the tail light.
I said GOSH and closed the shed because I did not want to let my gandson see me hugging the bike crying and swearing.I may open the shed in a couple of days once I have calmed down!!! OR it may just be a sign that I need to modify the rear fender anyway. Ha Ha.
