And finally, lights done...

I had the lights way out front to begin with but it looked to odd. So stripped all back, recut the brackets and cut out the front to countersink the lights back in a bit. I hope I got the right balance.

I might just leave the matt black and add some subtle stickers and number boards and leave it at that...

Hello,

just a suggestion Pomps, but how about rounding off the rear upper edge of the fairing to run more parallel with the frame?

Cheers, MikeJ.

sorry Mike, I know exactly what you mean, but the corners give it its character.

Yes, you don't want it looking like a factory designed job. That would go against the whole spirit of the thing. Looking excellent as is Wink
