next time you rebuild the can use lock wire to wrap around the fibreglass to hold it tight and feeding it in the sleeve will be far simpler :lol:

Or cling film/wrapfast, does the same job, but is cheaper (pinch it from the kichen).

Cheers Mark.

Pah...as a teenager I would have been proud to ride around on something in as good a nick as that! Good luck in sorting it mate. :wink:

indeed it does, in fact it's probably better as it stops all the fibreglass stuff going everywhere.

Cheers Mark.

Yeah, next time I'm going to buy the repacking kit from M4. I'm sure it will come with all the rivets and everything I'll need. I was in a hurry... I don't know why but I was.

The cat is Peanut - or Peanutbutter Butt - because she looks tabby from behind. My friends named her and we got her because she couldn't afford to care for her.

My bike isn't really all that bad. Untill you consider the price of everything I have to replace.

Rotors (Used) $120 shipped
Radiator (Used) $109 shipped (new would be $462)
Waterpump housing (used) $48 shipped
Handlebar (New) $62
Throtle tube / grip (new) $19
Front brake Lever (New) $12
Rear Brake Pedel (New) $62 !!!
Rebuild kit for M4 $135
Front exhaust bracket (New) $10

________________________$577

Plus I got a new helmet $184
Motorcycle lift $97

Total____________________$858

I'm just glad I don't have any fairings. I'll probably bondo and prep the scuff near the seat by myself and take it to a local auto detailer and have them spray it - I have some paint that's not perfect, but it's really close.
