Re: Blade fighter
don't use that stuff on ANYTHING that holds weight or stress.
I've seen many a thread about this stuff on other sites populated by some of the most talented builders in the uk...and its been universally panned!
I wouldn't use it on subframes etc...I guess its cool for battery boxes...but from what I've read...if used incorrectly ( don't beleive the hype/claims) it can cause you big problems
just passing on whats been said for the last few years across the net!

Re: Blade fighter
Thanks for the 'Heads up' Radiobloke.
I'll give a good weight test before using it for stressed stuff.

Re: Blade fighter
I've also been using this stuff for a while now, under the brand name of Lumiweld and echo what's been said so far.
Great for repairing damaged/cranked engine casings etc, but the manufacturers don't recommend it's use for structural work.

Re: Blade fighter
Hey guy's, I been playin again!
This is the rear panel for my battery tray which'll also be the No. plate bracket.
Hopin to weld it on tomorrow then angle the 'duster to suit the No.plate
That's quite enuf 'Bling' for me, just little subtle stuff.
Like my tyre valve dust caps! (cant find a pic so watch this space).

Re: Blade fighter
Mini update
I've made some brackets to re-position the fairing to work with
Fat Bars, I'm still waiting for the Fat Bar Risers to be delivered.
Streetfightertore.co.uk keep tellin me the've been posted
but I aint received owt.
When I've fitted the bars I can adjust the fairing and measure it up for the final (pretty)brackets to be made.
The seat has come to a halt.
My idea was to make it slide between Rider only position and 'With pillion' but I think I bit off more than I could Chew
Watch this space

Re: Blade fighter
Ha I've got the same kind of problem with my CB.
As it's to become a cafe racer I originally was going to fit/adapt/make some rearsets.
But if my daughter wanted to go out on it I'd be knackered.
Because I needed to fit a different tank and seat unit to get rid of the eurostyle look, I figured kill two birds with one stone and fit a shorter rounded tank, to give the same as moving the pegs back and that way keep the pillion pegs.
Eventually I got a CB900C tank from the US, but banging my head against a wall on the seat.
Strangely I thought a seat would be easy, but doesn't quite work out like that does it buddy?

Re: Blade fighter
HEL performance Blakelines. Ordered 1 day, delivered next. Amazing, 23hrs 30mins. fone to door.
I'v binned the two position seat idea.
Seat is going a little further back than I wanted but 'Sparra' (Son) will have to squeez in............The Mrs has already declined the offer to ride again so All good in my book!

Aaaaaaaggggh,
The bearing has gone in my Angle Grinder.
I was hoping not have to buy any more tools.
Spent more on tools than the Bike is feels.
Grrrrrrrr.
