Default Fender Roller at the Dragon

Dark_Sub_Rosa and I picked up a fender roller for the benefit of the Nashville community and everyone else at regional events. We will be bringing it to the Dragon for people to use.

Please note the following things:

We do not plan to roll anyones fenders for them. We are just supplying the means.

We do not hold any responsibility for you jacking up your fenders

We do not hold any responsiblity for you jacking up someone elses fenders

We would appreciate donations to assist in recouping the cost of this product. No less than $10.00 and no more than $20.00 please. We are not looking to make money, just cover our expense.

We will most likely ask that the work be done in a single location so that the fender roller itself does not run off and get lost.

That's a great idea, and I might be partaking in rolling of the said fenders. Any words of advice?

Yep - I've done it before.

That in no way shape or form means that I am actually going to roll someone's fenders - I will give some advice. You're going to need a heat gun too.

Tempting. I wanna switch to 265's from the 255's. If I remember I'll bring a heat gun too.

You'll need a heat gun and a lot of patience. I've rolled 4 S2000 rear fenders before. I'll be there and can give out advice.

I was thinking the same thing... I don't know if I would "totally" benefit from a fender roll...maybe only in the rear. When the S2000 is loaded (ie, luggage) I rub just a tad on some of those "wonderful" parts of the Hellbender...
