Just a little update:
its been a busy few weeks but I've had a little time to do some jobs on the bike.
I refurbished the rear subframe last week which including removing it from the bike, stripping the paint, removing rust, prepping the surface and painting it with a rubberized paint.
I then moved onto mounting the fairings which included ordering new fairing mount brackets, making a belly pan widener using sheet aluminium, and making a front subframe.
The front subfame was made from 10x1 aluminium tubing that I fabricated to fit.
Photos:
the bike looks phat without the seat unit on.

how she sits now
Im now just waiting for a local machinist to make me a few small components, then all the bike needs to be 100% ready to race is Paint, powervalve linkages and the rear caliper sorted.
the following 4T propaganda was brought to you by your local 2T lobby group...
"whats that youve got there?... a 450? "

"what cereal packet did that come out of? "

"I just wanted to know, because theres nothing worse than finding a piece of shit in the bottom of your corn flakes. "
