I am in no way related to the sellers of quiksteel & have no commercial interest in it.
It's just that I have been waiting for ages for something like this
and it proved to be a simple & useful mod for a part of my across.

This stuff comes in a putty like form & you just knead it for a while then stick it on to wherever you want to be. It is sticky like epoxy and very strong. Just make sure to wash it off your hands before it sets, which is very quick (around 5 minutes after mixing it starts getting really hard). It can then be painted, sanded, drilled... whatever. The best thing is that it resists about 240 degrees temperature. I obtained a small tube from K-Mart for less than 15 bucks.

Unfortunately, the previous owner of my bike thought it would be good to entertain the mates between VB stubbies with a nice party trick, which involved sanding down parts of the top of the bike using the road surface. When I bought my bike there was a nice cleanly shaven corner right off the top of the front brake reservoir. Here's how my reservoir looked after applying quiksteel and sanding back. It hasn't been painted yet.

One useful application for quicksteel would be to put it between the
rear wheel axle spacers that grab around the swingarm, that
show you where the rear wheel is in relation to the swingarm.

Thank you, yes it is a work of art.
Stick a bit of quiksteel in the space illustrated, and then once it is dry file it down just enough so that it
neatly fits onto the swingarm. This will take away the play that exists in the stock spacer.
This is often necessary because play in the stock spacer makes for a completely crap / innacurate reading
of where your rear wheel is when you are trying to line it up evenly.
