So, I'm a total noob with motorcycles, and just as noobish with bodywork. After reading some stuff on here, I decided I would attempt my Kat repairs myself. Seeing as I've never done this before, I figured some practice would be in order.
I acquired a small panel from a Yamaha from a friend. He was going to trash it anyway, plus it was perfect (already cracked and scratched). I took an angle-grinder to it, to add the much needed deep, road-rash-ish gouges.
With the stage set, I sanded it down, cleaned it, and laid down a layer of Elmers All-Purpose Epoxy (wasn't sure how it would work. I figured this is all practice, so I might as well try it). I let it cure overnight, and it was hard in the morning (just can't help it).
Ideally, I'll get comfortable enough with this, and then I'll venture on to my own Kat fairings. Stay tuned for progress...(Exciting, I know)
