Hornet Swarm Night City

Birkenhead war memorial centre Wanpo?
You should get a picture of you climbing in bike gear for the lols.

Thinking of doing a decent ride on friday, if anyone has time to kill lemme know.

Apologies for posting in the wrong thread, but I had a hard time finding any dedicatd hornet threads

My front fender which I bought from a wreckers shop is showing a few cracks after few months of riding. Going over a speed bump will break it into two! So havent been riding it recently

On a closer inspection, there were few other incipient cracks visible near the nuts and bolts. Is it because the forks are pulling it outwards? But it shouldn't be as they are aligned and the fender is from an another hornet 250.

I heard epoxy resin could help? Any suggestions on how to fix it?



Thanks guys!

Hey Shanks, that does seem like some issue with the forks still ... usually they use plastic welding to get that sort of thing sorted (though alradite could possibly sort it). Bugger, that was a brand new fender wasn't it?

[wanpo]

It's not too hard to do a decent job plastic welding yourself, with just a soldering iron, some putty to smooth things over, sandpaper, either way it'd require a repaint though.

It was a second hand one Gijoe but spent 150 bucks on it
Hmm I have never done welding before, id probably end up snapping it into two...eek! But u reckon its the forks huh?

How tight did you do up the bolts?

[gijoe1313]

Hmmm has the fender been making contact with the tyre? Any wear marks?

Any good panel beater/painter will do it, I had a crack in the rear fairing of my YZF 600 years ago, had it thermo welded locally, couldn't see it at all...sold it a year in mint condition.

How tight did you do up the bolts?

Possibly too tight? There doesn't appear to be any rubber washer between the bolt head and plastic, I believe that to be the reason for the crack.

I'm keen!

So we're all good for MotoGP, and it is only Moto2/3 that we need to try to find an alternate source of?

Looks like Moto3 race in English is here: http://www.freesportsdownloads.com/a...1-indianapolis

I can watch it at home through BBC.

Just use one of these proxys to connect to the vid on BBC: http://hidemyass.com/proxy-list/search-225370

BBC Vids here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/search?q=MotoGP

Once the video is connected and has started to play... Then disconnect the proxy.

It can take a few turns to get it going though... or just use VPN software (but you can not disconnect and vid quality can be worse (slower connection)).

Sweet, you're the man, I'll have to bookmark that site.

I'll pop by at lunchtime and start off part 1 of the Moto3 (if someone could grab part 2, that'd be awesome, these sites generally have a speed/download limit

The other man, sweet, I'll have a play with this and try to get it up and running.

It is the WHOLE race - all the news and crap etc before the racing. And I prefer the English BBC commentators to the Aussies, or the Spanish or French... :P

If you have a fast internet connection we can get it running easy!! :P
