Thanks anyway though ..

there has been something strange going on with a few uk web sites recently - and not just associated with windoze....

Ok so just need to know about "THE CUT " needing to be done to my newly sprayed bellpan after fitting the new oil tank .........How much do i need to take out roughly before i start going mad with the chainsaw !!!

Got to go and clean up my nice oil slick in the garage now but will wait till i hear form you guys who have done it first before trying to fit bellypan .........by the way .............PHOTOS I'M GOOD WITH PHOTOS !!!

Oh and only lost the skin on three fingers as well , lost about two pints of blood but will make that up later in the pub !!!

not much of a cut as you can see

i suggest that offering the belly pan up is the easiest way to see it - i cut an ellipse out of around 4cm long and 0.75 cm wide - but offer it up and see

Aladin that is spot on mate thank you very much

, now my hand may not be shaking so much when i go for it ......

Am keeping that page up and taking laptop to garage to now work step by step ......if it goes wrong now it's your fault !!!

Still waiting on exhaust but thought i might as well get it done as it's raining outside and blowing a gale , hope it turns up soon as i've just had the dreaded call to go back to work for the 2nd ............Less then two weeks at home , BOLLOCKS !

No worries mate

And I will pm you some time - I quite fancy your holiday chalet - and not for mates rates either!

cornish mafia · #117 Post by **cornish mafia** » Thu May 26, 2011 6:59 pm

It's alive I tell you it's alive !!!

All back together again albeit a "tighter” fit then normal with the fairing and that's after hacking in with a dremel ( must confess top mate turned up just in time as I was about to hack in so quite happily stepped aside and let him crack on being the skilled man he is..........well what are mates for !!)

Everything is looking good re-rooted cooler pipe where it should be and all fairing bolts back in BUT ( there's always a BUT ) I notice the oil tank touches the fairing just back from the cut which would mean taking loads out so I’m assuming it's an OK to leave as is ???

Will wait till i get full nod of agreement from the gods before i start smiling and by all means get in touch if you fancy staying just check the calander on the web site for free dates ...

Please post a picture of where it is touching

cornish mafia · #119 Post by **cornish mafia** » Fri May 27, 2011 9:06 am

OK here goes and taken from phone camera as well so not the best :

First one is looking back through "the cut " towards the rear :

Second is looking down with " the cut " up front : -

Doesn't look like i need to make "the cut " any bigger as it's not touching at he front now , was thinking maybe a bit of bending on the tank lugs to try and get it to sit in closer to the bike ?? It's touching pretty much an inch & half either side of the green white join .......

Aladinsaneuk · #120 Post by **Aladinsaneuk** » Fri May 27, 2011 9:09 am

I would be tempted to try and space out the top of the mounts using a couple of washers - better than trying to bend lugs i think
