Probably also worth noting that these guys are talking fahrenheit, not Celsius! I got confused and fully melted my lights :(

Well i gave one of those lights a go Andy. Can atleast say i almost destroyed it in giving it a try :lol: :facepalm:. The way i tried was with a heat gun. Just cant get the consistency with the heat ect. So i think the oven way is the way :oops: :)

Yeah, that's fair enough. Trial & error innit. I have heard of people using a heat gun, but not sure in the success rate. So oven it is I guess.. ;)

Still waiting for parts to come through to get my dodgy wheel & handling sorted btw. Maybe I'll come up in a few weekends time once my old Lude has sold & we'll make a weekend of it, trying to make some decent progress on both our motors. Then maybe travel up to PAW & get the geometry done on them both too. How does that sound?

And having difficulty sourcing the lower suspension arm/bolt I need. What are my options? And would it be worth sourcing the shock absorber 'fork' as well? Do you think this might be bent?
