Rough Ride for Stock Isn't (BO8).

[panelman]

Went riding a couple weeks ago and have just had time to start assessing and repair the damage done. I was wearing pants and caught the leg on the edge of the guard pulling it out into the cranks path. Which promptly bent the length of it out at a 90 degree angle. I had used 3M panel bond to attach the gaurds together and it busted about 2 inches of the seam. I cut them apart today and did some
re-gluing and welding(pics to come later)
Fortunately only the bike was damaged. This was Yesterday on the stand after I had bent it back so I could ride the 3 miles or so back the truck. Really wish I could have removed it before bending it so I could have prevented lots of rework.

Ouch! That sucks. One of my favorite bikes last year.
Good luck with the repairs.

Thanks Guys!
Here it is after another hour ready for primer.
Reworking this is going much faster than when I built it originally. Glad I didn't have to start over with new parts.
