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.

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.
