Thanks, the can does sound fruity, the paint is a copy of the model before the m, this is the n which is the last of the oil boilers, I do like the later W model as well and you can easily get 165bhp out of those.

The fairing is only on loosely, needs the headlight etc fitting and indicators and a bit of tweaking here and there. Your mate will notice a difference going from one of these to a Mille, especially the weight, I think some of the oe parts I took off this were made of lead.

Cheers guys, it’s took longer than I wanted but I’m nearly at the finish line, I’ve got to get a nice seat made now, one came with the seat unit but it’s not the nicest but it’s a good base to start from.

Cheers rick, the battery tray I cut from a sheet of carbon fibre, bought it from a company called easy composites and surprisingly easy to work with if you get the right cutting and filing tools.

Yeah just organic, gluten free carbon isn't it. Well except for the resin ha. That new open battery bracket looks a bit GP like to me, looks good

The battery used to sit down by the shock and looked a mess, the box was made from about 4 pieces with some relays etc bolted to the underside of it, I like the nice open look so it had to move, and I’ve probably saved a kilo junking the battery box.

I ordered a square sheet and some angle to make the small mounts from a company called easy composites, bit dusty cutting it and you get black but it is called carbon.

Looks really neat now doesn't it. Was that just a sheet of ready made carbon fibre then? Interesting seeing the battery all the way at the back of the tail I think. I've just now had a Shido lithium delivered so I know there's not going to be too much weight there though.

Laying out the electrics and had some new battery cables made, just gotta make a few small tabs and glue them to the tray for a couple of components.
