Yep. You can borrow it. I have plans that may change...

Can't wait to meet her BTW.

Sweet, more than anything I'm interested to know if the stud holes line up. I might have to come round soon and spend some time in SkunkWorks.

Discovered a leak under the paint on the tank today...

Must have happened when I sanded the tank.
What's the stuff you put in the tank to seal it? Can't remember the name.

Kreem, think its a two part (maybe 3) mix?

**ajturbo** · 4th February 2008, 06:09

weld it like you usally do!

**Skunk** · 10th February 2008, 17:11

Soldered it up. With a soldering iron no less.

Seems OK holding back a full tank of gas. Repainted it so we'll see.

Just for interest sake, how much of an improvement was the suspension mod on the arse end? Really noticeable in a good way??

**Skunk** · 16th February 2008, 06:01

I'll let you know - our season starts on the 2nd March so it hasn't been tested.
Apart from that I did it because I could, not because of any 'real' need. I could have just changed the rear shocks but this was more fun.

Fair enough! Plus, even if it doesn't make a difference in the handling department, it looks cool!!! Definately got the bragging power at the bucket events...
