I would, but I'll be plugging more bits of my 7R back together
tomorrow - just got to do the cooling system, modify the air
box, and decide which fairing I'm putting on.
Can't finish it yet because I need a new set of engine mounting
bolts to replace the bent/corroded/lost set I currently have.

Need any carbon fibre for it? I've just been making

You don't *have* to use an autoclave to produce carbon fibre moulded
parts.

oh. I thought I'd read somewhere that it was only the autoclaved
stuff that gave the really strong and light stuff, and that the
non-autoclave method just gave you fibreglass with pretensions.

No - you'd have quite a bit of trouble repairing a boat
mast (the most popular application of carbon fibre) by
trying to stick it in an autoclave...

It is all FWP but the cooking is used to
a) speed the process.
b) ease tension.
c) treble the price.

You needed someone to show you how to remove the back wheel of your CBR600?
I would of said that was a relatively simple job albeit easier with an
assistant or am I missing something here?

It went:

Kev: "yes"
Me: "And that's the chain thing, right?"

TBH, That's not what I'd consider basic spannering. More being able to
charge a battery.
Sorry.

Well exactly. Even *I* can change a battery and charge it without
killing myself. I have no spannering skills at all.

Ah, I see what you mean, although charging a battery still doesn't count.
I learnt a bit of spannering at 17 with my DT100 in many pieces as I'd
taken it apart to "see how it worked". The then cold realisation I was
up for a *hot* date in a few hours, needed transport and was going to
have to learn how it goes back together pretty fucking quickly.

I understand what you were getting at, but in your original reply you'd
not qualified it as a daunting task made trivial through experience, just
as an example of 'spannering'. Or you're a spanner god and if I need
batteries changing you're the man.

I thought all boys were taught to "whip it out" at about the age of
four.

Are you finding the world of work very stressful? It's just that the

Remove Givi top box - remove top box rack - remove seat - remove side
covers - remove tank - remove battery.
