I did make a start on the rad cowl but not happy with the way it looks yet....
But pleased with the way the side...
I'm going to take the bike along to a show next weekend.....get a bit of feedback on the frame kit idea....so going to temporarily put the whole thing together without worrying too much about finish etc
Made up the other half of the new airbox and gave the frame a quick coat of paint...
Finished off the sidepanels.....and took moulds from them....

Modified the rear part of the frame so as to locate all the electrical...
