Does anyone know of a good machinist in the Surrey area who could fix this?



It's my Fireblade's OE end can, nicely chamfered on its leading edge. I reckon it's as easy as this:

- drill out rivets
- remove aluminium end piece
- make a new one
- rivet it back onto the sleeve of the end can.

Okay, there's some damage underneath the aluminium bit but that will be hidden by the new piece. And I can live with the scratches.

Try Chris (I think?) at Nine Lives Guildford, GU1 4JX - 01483 454441

They altered my old set of BKS several years ago - perhaps they still do that sort of stuff?

Anna, I know you're not that mechanicaly minded

But that's an end can, not a set of leathers
