Ok to EPOXY glue & KENAD-IT to attach rear brake lever and fairing stay?

[FROSTY:Me]

Brugar engineering dude.But before ya spend hard earned coiin go visit a couple of wreckers. -Could be they have identical bits off a different model in stock and possibly cheaper than the weld job.

thanks,

Also the the bolt that connects the footpeg to the rearsets, is bent. As a result the footpeg is on an angle.

would it be ok to?

1.) bent the bolt back? how?

2.) get new bolt from engineering shop, any recommendations?

thanks

If it's just an ordinary bolt, safe course would be to get a new one from the bike shop. Engineering supplies may not want to sell a single one.

But myself, I'd probably bend it back. Either remove it and straighten it in a vice . Or do the simple thing. Give the footpeg a couple of ruddy good kicks. Usually works.

Hello guys, should it be ok to Epoxy glue to attach and then use KENAD-IT to re-enforce a broken rear brake lever and a broken front fairing stay (metal bit that holds the front fairing/screen/mirror up)?

and will it be ok for warrent?

thanks

If I was you Zapf I wouldn't bother with these repairs on my *new* wheels, I'd buy brand new replacements. I would want my *new* bike to remain looking new! Surely it can't be a financial issue? If you can afford to buy a brand new Gixxer750 you should be able to afford these small replacement parts.

By the looks of your other thread there is a fair bit of cosmetic damage. I'd seriously consider an insurance claim to get it back into *new* showroom looking condition...but that's just me!

I struggled to get my Gix750 back to new condition after I put it down

Mind you, it was a bit older, whopping 8000kms on it....

Still about it now, loved me that Gixxer.

I have had good service from EDL fasteners even though I only ever get a couple of bolts at a time, turned up on my bike once got talking to the guy and he just gave me some samples!!!!

Pah!! rear brake lever? who needs it! just cut a strip of tread off an old car tyre & glue it to the bottom of your jandal...

[Krusti]

ok... so by the sounds of it no on the lever hur :P

Any good welders on here would do a fairing stay? I think its either alum or some alloy.

TS, where are you getting yours welded?

tkns.

Give us a pic and I'll make one out of an old wooden fence baton....I'll even paint it for ya for free...

Pine or Totora extra...

Harden up, forget the jandel, glue it to your foot. As for repairs my fabricating skills are world wide famous in Hunua, I can take something thats not broken and break it for you.

Glue. Pah, soft that's what the younger generation is. Don't know what the world's coming to. In my day we nailed the ruber on with six inch nails. Through the foot and clenched over on top.
