Verslagen,
Thank you.
Justin,
I know for sure the two dents are small enough to easily hammer out, but I don't have the tools. I do have some 60/40 rosin core solder to tin the area and a bar of body lead. I fashioned a lead paddle out of a piece of a hickory handle that broke off one of my wife's garden tools.
When I moved to Texas 10 years ago I never thought that I would ride again. That was the most serious mistake of my life and to top it off I gave away almost all of my tools. I was 68 years old and never owned a bike with an electric starter and was having trouble with my legs. I thought the heat and wind would keep me out of the saddle. I was like a fish out of water, lo and behold the cycle shop near my home had a really nice 1998 Yamaha V-Star and cheap. After installing a Clever Lever I could ride the darned thing.
The real serious spending began; I had no helmet, gloves, boots, leathers or tools. And then I had to make a gantry to pickup a bike, and a stand to hold the bike steady so I could work on it without it falling on me.
The question that I will post here and in Dave's post is: The ears to mount the Kawasaki fender are somewhat wider than the S40 ears. Can a sheet metal guy make the 2 bends on each ear to be easily able to slide it into position? You can see I have a clamp squeezing the fender together to be able to slide the fender between the fork legs. I don't want to risk scratching the fender after I get it powder coated? I know my hands are not strong enough to squeeze the fender between the forks and get the bolts started.
