Guest Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 its not that hard in fact most people wil be surprised how easy it is Statutory audit of multinational companies ... is fairly easy too - once you know it!The systemic difference is: For that (and other things one can learn) you need no tools, just a brain that works.But to work on my motorbike i need all sorts of tools, space (inside! so that the fingers don't freeze!), etc. etc.So, even if you say, my brain could handle it, my facilities cannot. But thanks for your encouragement! That's what i needed too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stu Posted March 13, 2009 Author Share Posted March 13, 2009 everything can go back on now mate apart from the undertray i have to give that around a week to harden up a bit but still want be hard enough really im thinking of buying another one to get painted by a pro in summer and leave it to harden properly before fitting once i test ride it and if i find my front forks a fooked and need new springs and valves to match the rear it will be off the road again although i might splash out on a set of forks to keep me going Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
