Re: It lives
Hey Lambo The front and bottom fairing went on pretty easy, had to make a new top front fairing bracket and for the tail i cut off the original subframe off and built a new one. Was a fair bit of messing around. All made from 16mm rhs. http://i701.photobucket.com/albums/ww12/Last_Minute_Racing/Photo...
