    Hello all,

    I've got a rear hugger and tail unit that needs repairing and I've found a place in sittingbourne and ramsgate but I was just wondering if any of you had any encounters with this or can recommend anyone else?

    There was a guy in that other forum , in North Kent that did repairs and painting. Dunno his name though.

    As Deano says, cheap soldering iron and coat hangers / cable ties / bits of old fairing work wonders.
    I've done several bikes for others and countless repairs to my own like it.

    S'easy ;)

    And if you aren't as ridiculously talented as Skortchio, there's another firm in Alma Road in Ramsgate: "The Bike Clinic". Not cheap, though, I have to say...

    Dave is merely exhibiting how resourceful he is. Don't take any notice. Actually JimG started it all on another thread, lapsing into Persian, as you do...
