too be honest,i have had shot blasting done many time's,and have got too know the fella quite well over the years.had a sherco frame done on an 07 cabestany 290,and when i got it back,it was minus a frame number,which i was quite worried about,because it would give future buyers a worrying factor,of izz this bike a dodgey one,anyway,i'm well known in the trials world by all the top riders.anyway jon lee motorcycle's where i purchased the bike from,sold it with in one week.BUT,just had another frame done,and this time i asked the fella how come he did'nt take off the frame number this time.He just said some times the old paint izz really hard too remove,and every frame izz diffrent.so azz you can imagine i was chuffed too have a frame number.azz baldilocks can speak for the fella selling the bike,then thats ok,BUT we cant speak for all bikes for sale without frame numbers and engine numbers,maybe we could of taken the frame too the local police station,and they can check the numbers and then see it afterwards,i dont know the real way round it too be fair.but seeing numbers punched in all over the place,will flag up,its dodgey and stolen.hope this can help you. still got too be on the look out for other fella's pride and joys.
what it is,is the rubber washer under the cap,its more like a hard plastic,and is'nt supple or soft.the washers are rubbish to be honest.there fore wont seal.
what i did was buy an 05 insert that goes inside the filler cap.be very careful,cut the little top hat off.leaving a nice soft rubber washer.take your old washer off and put this one on.BINGO,no more leaks.try that ok buddy.BIG BEN.
Well done Jack,And not for getting the rest of the team too.We are really chuffed for you mush,we have rode with you now for a few years,and
watched you improve ,un-real at times,A great step forward,TTT will be proud to have you in there team.All the best for the future.BIG BEN and ALAN AYRES.
