    Looks like a good start but I though that you use your leg to stop the bike from hitting the road :thumb_ups:

    Sadly the JB weld has ended up a little lumpy..Ill know to use a lot less next time...doesnt respond to sanding very well at all so its time to get out the heavy duty file.... :headbang:
