Can anybody help? last w/end whilst out on a ride my R/H can [aprilia high level carbon fighter] caught alight internally and blistered the outside and have since been told it's knackered, does anyone have any idea if it can be re-sleaved and if so where idon't really want to bin it as they are [were ] good] pipes and quite rare and i'm back on standard ones :

Theyll be resleevable, just might take a bit of effort.

Speak to Seastar in Newton Flotman, see if theyve got a contact at the paddock, probably AR Racing or...someone similar..

Im sure Alan (AR Racing) would be able to find you a contact for someone with a carbon sleeve that would fit. Used to have contacts from Ally Pally but cant for the life of me remember the guy's name to search him out
