alriht.. i was using a hand held torch to remove small scratches off my rear fenders.

i was heating the side panels, ( not the black actual side panels but the triangle panels on the rear fenderrs..

well anyway i guess i got them a little too hot on both sides, now they bow out about an inch.

im really mad. does anyone know how to fix this?.. i tried heating them up again and duct taping them to the bike , but when i took the tape off it was exactly the same..

i think im gonna take the fenders off, tie them both together somehow and heat them up , i dont know.. plese help...

thanks

yes.. i really hate it when stupid stuff happens, like filling up the oil tank w/o putting the drain plug back...

i guess all i can do it try and heat it up again and push it way in and cool it down fast, hopefully it will get a little better...

thanks anyway guys..

What really sucks is when it's on a car and you don't realize it until after the last quart goes in:ermm: :o

when i had my 300, i misthreaded the oil plug, and i was on a small mx track. and i noticed it was off because my foot fell off a few times, and at first i just thought it was from the track being muddy. then i look down and i got oil all over my cor3 pants, and guess what? it happened to go exactly on where the white part is, lmfao.

year later allmost they stil kinda stained :rolleyes:
