The consensus seems to be favouring the last one Paul, so I'll go with that scheme when I get it done.

Can't wait for this project to finally start gathering pace. it's been going on too long for my liking.

Funny you should say that Andrew, I did try that, but preferred ACU number boards.

That looks shit hot :D What about the EXCEL graphics bigger font and starting low near that scoop and going up the fairing at a 45 deg angle? The EX could be black on white and the rest white on black

I'm sticking with the ACU 250 number boards, as this bike is still eligible to compete in the F250/F400 class if I run on treaded tyres.

waited in all day today for my shock and it never turned up. Phoned Firefox for a tracking ID for ukmail and it doesn't resolve to anything, so I'm now praying its not been lost. I can't exactly just get another! Not very happy at the moment.

My shock finally arrived back from Firefox, although not quite how I wanted the hose, but it will do.

At least I'm able to get the engine in and out of my way.

Next jobs are to start work on the fibreglassing and carbon fibre bits and bobs.
