Hi @Iceman please will you share the materials used for the radiator soldering? I am very capable of sorting this, including pressure testing, but I don't specifically have any aluminium flux or solder and have a 675 radiator to do very soon.
[QUOTE="Eldon, post: 648268, member: This means the phone sits in landscape with the camera lens nearest to the clutch lever..... bad idea! The run out above has again damaged the camera lens. This is the 2nd time this has ocurred. The first time it chipped the actual lens hence after replacement I fitted a lens saver. Hopefully this time its only the protector as I've just ordered the replacement. £2.99 protector Lens last time, was £20 Beware![/QUOTE] Here you go for a pic. This is a Samsung S20 camera lens protector changed tonight and hit on last Sundays rideout.
You can make flux quite easily, with household chemicals, that will solder aluminium or stainless steel and you can also buy it ready to use. You can then use regular lead/tin solder. Quite a few videos on youtube. I had a stone through the rad of the ZZR some years back but unfortunately the damage was too great for a local specialist to repair.
Ah, I have plenty of lead/tin solder but I was of the impression that for aluminium it was a specific grade and not the standard wiring solder most people have. Thanks, I'll take a look at youtube.
Pleasant teatime ride around with mate, through the lanes doing about 50 miles. Dry roads and not bad temperatures, but lots of mud on the roads in places, beware! Coffee and a pasty at Squires to finish. My 765 is the third bike in, the Ducati belongs to a fellow 765 owner.
New front tire and chain adjustment on the 2018 Bonneville. 4600mi and still had a little left. I normally run tires down to the part that holds the rubber part in place.
