FRAME PROTECTORS

Post by kiwi60 »

Since my latest parting of the ways with the FZR, I have noticed some new dents in the frame where the handle bars whacked them.

I was thinking of putting some sort of self adhesive frame protector / covering over the marks as they are only an eye sore and not a structural concern.

Can anybody point me to where I can buy some, or a suitable material to make some from.

You can buy stickon carbon-fibre-look sticker sheet at bike shops. Perhaps
use a bit of putty or filler to smooth out the dent and then put some of that
over the top? Or you could fill the dent and paint the frame (more work tho)?

I'll check it out this week, I guess another possibility would be a well placed 'sponser' sticker.
