Are they supposed to shrink when they get wet?

Towel dry - DO NOT USE PAPER TOWELS!!! - cloth towels only, then sit it in front of the heater.
As it heats up it should expand slightly. Watch closely and then as soon as you see some slight expansion - pull on all fairings from all directions. Don't forget the frame, bars, wheels, etc.
The stretch technique will get your bike back to its normal size if you're patient, but unfortunately there's nothing you can do about the engine.
The good news is, you'll swamp the 2cc race class!

You shouldn't have any trouble with giving it a bit of a pull while it heats up, but if you do call me and I'll give you a few technique tips

An alternative method is to go and stand out in the rain all night yourself, so you shrink to match the bike - but be careful - it's hard to get the timing right and you don't want to shrink further than the bike!





great pics mate

Hey Bogan looks like you shrank too so whats the prob...I should get it so that my feet can reach the ground easily (i'm a short arse)..

It needs a bubble screen to keep your crotch warm!

You need to fill the tank with two bottles of that NOS stuff from the states

Then move in front of a blast furnace

lol, wasnt sure what this was going to be about.

Damn - I'd happily stand in the rain if this works. Suspect if might take a week or so rather than overnight tho......

You were one of the people I was thinking of when I typed it up and threw it out there, Stace. Thanks for not disappointing
