...if I take an angle grinder to the fairing stay while its still on the bike?
I was serious about asking more stupid questions, and I am seriously asking this. Can I just throw a cotton blanket over the tanket while I'm goin' to town?

Won't hurt anything.
You could probably leave the fuel cap off and be OK, but I don't know if I'd risk it.
I've done some grinding on the bike while it's still in the garage. Make sure to have an extinguisher handy. I've never had to use one, because I've always been careful of which way the sparks are flying.![]()
Protect your wiring harness also, don't want to send a stream of hot metal shavings into that...
I went to MMI I know what Im doing here chief
The stay is aluminum right? It won't spark.

It will still get very hot when cutting. Melting point of the wire insulation is 350-400* F.

Your bike is definetely going to explode.

If you are going to make your bike explode, wait and do it at the track so we can gather around and watch.

True, I guess blanket is a tier below orange on account of the two-worders.

If you're truly paranoid, you could drain the gas from the tank and then fill it with water.
