Where are you based, if you can get your clutch case over to me I'll weld it up for ya :thumbup:
Regards the sleeve on your can, how bad is it, I know someone who can supply sleeves at a very reasonable price, or phone the makers of your cans, they'll have spares, drill the rivets out, take the damaged sleeve off, slip new one on, re-rivet, bingo, re-sleeved mine last year, took me about half an hour each :D

get a hair dryer or heat gun on your brake pedal, slowly heat up and graduelly bend it back into shape, slowly does it tho, heat/bend heat/bend heat/bend, repaeat this many times but only makes small adustments each time to avoid the pedal snapping..... :thumbup:

I see what you mean about the hanging straps now. Strange that they are made of plastic.

I’m afraid I’m a bit too far away, based in South East Manchester, if you’re not in any rush I’m sure it wouldn’t cost that much to send it up to me, due to an awkward work shift pattern I would need it for about 7 days, so with postage time you’d be looking at about 10 to 14 days without it.
Without seeing it I can’t really be sure, but going off the picture it looks as though I’ll be able to weld it up, what the hell, if it repairs ok it’s a bonus, if it doesn’t you’ve lost nothing really because it’s no good as it is.
There will be no charge for doing it, you just pay the postage and buy me a pint when/if I ever bump into you, if you want to go ahead PM me.

Many thanks for the offer cheekykev, but I ordered some of those duraweld sticks, and i've got some plate ali cases that were going to be scrapped at work, which will be perfect for making a patch.

Ok, no problem, just be carefull, Ali melts at a very low temp, you don't get any warning, one minute it's there the next minute it's gone and ends up just a blob on the floor 8O

This Varadero cover will fit for £36.50

Then stick a Carbonadi cover over that for extra protection.
It may be that your whole purpose in life is simply to serve as a warning to others.

Water pump?
Four bolts.
Easier to undo when it's bolted to the bike than on the bench.
It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.
