Scuffed mirrors

[Jrod]

Hi, On my dads' bike one of the mirrors has a few scuffs on it. Is there anyway you can tidy this up so it's not very noticeable?

[instigator]

Yes.

Scuff the other one up.

Matching pair.

Sorted.



Sorry, no I have no idea, other than getting it replaced. I take it daddykins is coming home soon?

Well basically my Dad found the old damaged fairing. I managed to blag my way out saying I bought a set 1 mint 1 damaged just to sell on as they were REALLY cheap. I showed him the auction in which I sold the mint fairing and he fell for it.
He said he will look at the bike sometime and if there's a mark on it then I'm dead.......
Only mark i put on it Is the mirror.
I ordered a new 1 today but wondered if there's anything I can do in the meantime.


(Besides run away from home on his bike for a few days until the new mirror arrives. )

Go out to the garage and carefully lie the bike on its side. Then go into the house and really appologetically ask your dad to help you pick it up because you tried to move it with the steering lock/disc lock on, lost your balance and dropped it.

Viola, one scuffed mirror with accompanying excuse.

Thinks up good lies,
but can't keep a straight face when he tells them.

T cut, or kitchen cream cleaner are boh quite good

I didn't crash the bike, It fell off its stand. He would kill me for not telling him.

Will try T cut sometime tonight. (incase he looks tomorrow )

I feel someone should say this now, just in case you are not aware of it.

You are digging yourself a hole mate (I haven't been following the story but it sounds like quite a deep one), at some point you will fall in when you least expect it, you had best hope too many people haven't had a dump in it before you do.

I speak from experience.

That's the original thread.

Basically the scuffs are to deep to be cleaned out really, got ride of a few of them for now. I put my finger in the grease near the chain and smudged it on it. Now it just looks dirty!


As long as he doesn't realise before thursday I don't care. he is paying for my head gasket then.
