Theyre looking fine, pretty much central from what i can see, certainly wont cause any issues.

Cheers man, it looks a bit odd atm but pretty sure it'll all tie in nicely once everything is the right colour.

Not sure about the half fork coverings or the big headlight, but it definitely has potential. Looking forward to seeing what it turns out like. Keep at it!

What is the target colour btw?

Enjoying the build so far, keep up the good work

Have the front forks been engraved?

The panels are going to be aston martin morning frost, a metallic white with a blue fleck.

The lowers have a carbon tubing slid over them, i ordered a meter in that weave, cut it tonsize and chamfered the inner, so it would sit nice over the taper at the end of the forks.

Sropped the bottom end off today for stripping and took the tank to my old bodyshop to get it prepped. Had a couple of small dinks so got them repaired and started on the base with the wheel to get rid of the surface rust csused by the lack of paint that goes under there.
