Cutting tank guards....
« on: September 05, 2003, 17:31:06 »
I'll admit it - I'm a lazy so and so. I need to cut a chunk out of my steering guard to allow the exhaust to pass without rattling. To undo the guard after it has been on for so long is not a task I relish.

Anyone know how I could cut the corner behind the back wheel (towards the back of the tank) without removal and *without* damaging the exhaust or guard....

<potters back> Just checked..looks like I'd have to remove the exhaust too to get the guard off....argh!

So it's more important now...or am I down to a file and 3 days....?
