Make sure you get the four hole version, three hole won't work.

You might want to lay in some four or five mm rubber. For every aftermarket gas cap I have installed I've needed to make a gasket to seal it to the tank.

I will just cross that bridge when I get to it I suppose.
Anything is bound to better what's on there at the moment.
With my awesome mechanic skills I managed to tip the tank over too far when I was checking out the bottom and tipped fuel all over my hand
Not my finest moment I must admit.

Shit man, don't mean to sound like a *unt but if that rates as noteworthy you are going to have the time of your life racing this ol' hack.Originally Posted by mcfly

It's all learning and all good progress.

Haha maybe should join the police and get some better work stories....
I cant wait to get it out there though. Should be an absolute blast!!! As long as I can actually keep up with someone that is...
I'm having a bit of trouble working out how to put the nylon on the handle bars etc.
Unknown Disorder
For the handle bars cut the ends of the grips away and hammer in some plastics wine corks, I'm pretty sure I have some in the parts box if you can't find any, we steal them from the local restaurant. Not sure abou the rear on a GL but sloted bits of nylon choping board can be held on with hose clamps at a push.

Should be able to find some wine corks around here.
By slotted do you mean to go around the fork?
I get the felling I'm making this alot more complicated than it should be...
Unknown Disorder
Cut a couple of slots in the nylon that the hose clamp can feed through the plastic so that the clamp is inside the nylon where it is going to hit the track but runs outside it for far enough to clamp it on securely. The countdown choping boards are quite flexible.

This would have been ideal. Oh well.
I've now got my bike all nyloned up and numbers made.
My tank is getting flushed out getting ready to weld cos I found a split right beside the fuel cap. I thought about using some of that cold weld stuff to fill it in but wasn't sure how well it would hold up against petrol so decided against it.
Not sure if my tank will be ready by this weekend but if its not I'll probably just come anyway and check things out.
