Looks like the top one would just squeeze in!

As for the indies on the rad, a 'Z' shaped bracket on the top side bolt would put the indies slightly behind the rad thus hiding the wires behind the rad going up/under the frame.

Superb handy work there, so good in fact when you have finished i have a couple of indie brackets need making, will send my bike up to you for a couple of weeks
Na that's as close as the top one can go before it starts interfering with the throttle, clutch and speedo cables.

Indi's are sorted. Should have them fitted in a day or two once the glue has dried

Yeh deffo looks better



I made the two aluminium brackets today. Straightened out the bottom leg and brought it up 5mm. It's really tricky getting the two brackets exactly the same size and all the mounting holes in exactly the same place. Aluminium is nice and easy to file down though







I'm really happy with how they look. Just need to sand and polish the brackets once I've got the final shape sorted.

I picked up some glue and clear silicone today to seal up the lights. And got some fine wet and dry for the painting. Also ordered the rear plastic caps and some lower profile bolts for the hid mounts.

looking good Daz.

top tip: when you want 2 items to be the same, bolt the 2 plates together then drill and cut.

After a lot of sanding and polishing the brackets are done!




Got a bellypan on ebay but the brackets are rusted to fook so made some nice shiney aluminium ones


Redesigned this one so it's totally hidden when the bellypan is fitted


And I'm now DONE with metal munching

The bellypan has a scratch on it which I'm trying to spray just now but it's not going very well I'm not good at spraying


Also started to prime the headlight covers in my 'spray booth'


Started to chop up the wiring loom tonight. Need to solder and tidy it all up still

They are a LOT better. Massively brighter and the spread of light is way better

I'll get some pics to show how bright they are when they're fitted
