How well did the acetone work in removing the tank liner? Was it definitely POR15 in there?

cant say 100% if it was POR15 in there. I just know it was some form of liner.

However, any lacquer thinner or solvent is some percentage of acetone so easier and cheaper to just buy neat acetone and use that...the liner that was in there i had removed the excess by hand however the liner removed in the picture was what was still 'stuck' to the tank...2 days with the acetone in and id say 90% of it came out...hopefully that answers your question!

for 15 quid for 5 litres its worth a go...if you have a fancy paintjob though make sure you dont get any acetone on it or it will be gone xD

por15 is silver and resistant to acetone, if acetone removes it and the flakes coming out are a browny yellow opaque colour, its almost certainly petseal, ive had to remove petseal liners that had been in decades but were destroyed by ethanol in petrol, i replaced them all with por15 and never had it fail yet.

Well it's now dyno'd and set up and I took it to JnS bike meet near me tonight...its a weird old thing to ride. Heavy clutch, heavy throttle, hard suspension, sharp brakes and it sounds like an old F1 car has been possessed... I love it...

Love this.

Is it just the angle of the photo , or does the rear caliper not bite the disc?

To run in Ultimate Streetbike you have to have lights fitted...that meant only 1 thing

I then drilled one of the headlight brackets to use it as a steering damper bracket so I could run a damper too!

and purely to show scale...the front wheels are pretty much in line here...look how physically short it is compared to a fightered k3

Made it to USB and it ran great (start switch died at end of Sunday though)

So how does it do at drag racing? Exactly as you'd expect...and I love it B|

Was also good to see Clive, Bow, Paul Morris, Sam Baker and the OSS gang and chat shit on the Saturday evening (y)

Bike will hopefully have a small post about it in Practical Sports bikes Magazine too as they were doing an article on the return of USB
