Plastic repairs

[hayd3n]

hi all
i repair and fix abs fairings pretty much like these guys
http://empiregp.com/?page=106&eType=3
but in Dunedin

I dont do the paint /undercoats

And all for a box of beer/ bourbon/ gas or something
I can do this anywhere!! (with 240v power)with my portable welder or give me said part and ill fix it at work
i will ll try and get some pics of the work ive done/ doing

also im looking into doing my own vacuum forming !! the setup at work it way to time consuming to justify beer
2 hrs + for setup

modds if this is in the wrong place notify me plz

im quite a lot cheaper than replacement items:scooter:

Good luck in your new business if you ever need any info on painting or repairs send me a note I would be glad to help you out. I learned everything the hard way and I am more than willing to share some of my mistakes with you. I am pretty lucky it has been almost 9 years since starting EmpireGP I have made many good friends in the motorcycle community and managed to make a buck and save my customers money...Good luck ....Bob

Not sure what the roads are like in your area from all of the tourist info I see it is suppose to be one of the best places in the world to ride. but here is a picture from a vaction a month ago with a good freind of mine, I let him lead jus to make him feel good :first: This is at Deals Gap

hi
the plastic welders range in price from a 300 dollar trademe one to a 5 amp leister 800 bux, most plastic can be welded of you purchase the welding rod that is of the same material
fairings are commonly abs so you use a abs welding rod etc etc
welders are easy to use, practice on scrap first

[98tls]

Forgive me fella,was supposed to get back to you re cutting some off a fairing for dirt bike bars,got the risers but nothing else,will sing out when i have the bars and lines.
