if you open it in Internet explorer you can save it as a png or bmp if that helps?

have just emailed it to you if that helps?

Well, the fairings and bellypan that I sourced locally are a bit rough, but should come up ok with some TLC from the paint & panel guys.

Can't wait to get my forks back from the shop...

:drool: Might have to start stalking the postie... I watched the box being loaded into the Aust post van. Sent it EMS and they reckon 3-7 days delivery :thumbup: It arrived this morning, snuck home from the office to play with the bits, am about to head back to work now :-) After work I'm heading o...

Might have to start stalking the postie...

Oh yeah, levers arrived yesterday from HK (Cheers for the Ebay link Spook) - I love getting stuff from HK, they were packaged in their own little cloth baggies, in a cardboard boxed covered with stamps, wrapped old-school with parcel twine!

Now to wait for the big Australian package

If you suddenly dissapear from the 'net we'll know what's happened to you

Hopefully the first package arrives today of bits for my bike to bring it back to life - takes away ones motivation to work something fierce!

@Monsterbishi: First time I see Exup in that lettering. I suspect that's as a result of my bike being from the Japanese domestic market, my Mustang is even funnier in that respect 8-) (and I admit, I enjoy doing it :shh: ). It's quite an addictive process, was up in the middle of the night with a r...

@Monsterbishi, don't take this the hard way, I do appreciate the work you are putting into it, but I don't think your logos are representations of the real thing. Should be pretty close given that I used my own bike as the template :-) http://203.97.119.119/yzf750r/exup%20deltabox.jpg http://203.97...

Nice work. I've only got one example of the delta box sticker here, it's dimensions are 184mm x 18.5mm. I'm sure they probably vary dimensionally model to model. http://i1177.photobucket.com/albums/x347/pandoras_bits/ac7bd9ab.jpg[/img][/quote] Yeah, looks like they've changed the font from year to ...

Here's this arfternoons vector based musing...



And here's the EPS, as with my last creation, the curves and spacing are a bit nasty, but it's a good start!

Deltabox EPS File

I grabbed a page of a brochure that I found on the web, traced over it vector style then manually tweaked it until it was symmetrical. If you have the deltabox graphic in a decent flat scan it'll take me about a hour to recreate. Have snaffled some off the net that might be ok, might be my tonight p...

Hmm, can't save as SVG with my old version of Freehand - here's the EPS EPS Version link

Can you open Freehand files? or EPS?

Genesis Freehand Image

Started draughting up the graphics for my bike today, being that the originals have suffered as a result of the black spray paint that the thief applied over them! So whilst the wife was at the Gym - I drew this up (Adobe Freehand) The curves are rough, and there's a bit of alignment to do, but I st...

I thought that ultra sonic cleaning was one of the primary methods used to clean carburettors, of which are made our aluminium? Quite a difference there! The unit I'm looking at is an industrial unit and large enough to take a rack of assembled in-line 4 carbs I would imagine it would depend on fac...

Also, with sonic cleaning you also need to remember to not put soft aluminium alloys in - they won't appreciate being hit with a zillion tiny sonic hammers! The other thing to realise with a lot of the parts, gunge/dirt will sometimes appear to remain attached - but will be softened and usually wipe...

Here's a couple of nuts/bolts I ran through my sonic cleaner that I normally use for cleaning brass for reloading: Using distilled water, about 20 minutes of run time and a tablespoon of Brasso.

So, for cornering, what's better in your opinion, having your two best friends up close to the tank, of giving them plenty of room and sitting at the back of it?
