Good news and bad.
My mirrors arrived today, but the fairing bolt kit has some wrong bolts in.
The 6 bigger bolts for the seat panels and bellypan are too big to fit in the recesses.
Been on the phone, they`re sending me out some smaller ones, should be here in the morning.

Well Chaps, an eventful day.
Noticed the front panels didn`t line up straight, so off with the front fairings and tweaked the fairing bracket, all straight now.

Finished and fitted the bellypan, bikes virtually finished for now, going to leave it as it is until i get the other seat panels sprayed, finally decided to do them half black, half white.

Few little odds and ends to do, but looks like i`ll be taking her for MOT next Friday.

It sure does Bazza, thats why i can`t decide on the colour?
The single seat cowl makes it look even more bulbous, might go with the stock seat.
It still doesn`t look right in black, black and white or all white.

The white/black combination does help but the white top half makes it look longer as well.

thats looking really nice,as for the colour on the back end only you can decide when your happy with it white

IMHO i think it should be red at the bottom and white at the top and maybe the hugger done red as well to break up the expanse of black at the back

Could still be the fairing brace thats not quite in line. It took me 3 goes to get mine something like level. My screen now looks ok, but my left mirror is very very slightly in a different position to my right one. One day I'll buy a brand new one off ebay, maybe.

Its definately the screen, i`ve measured and checked the screen brace with a spirit level, when you look at the screen you can actually see how out of shape it is on one side.
I`ve already had to cut it down to fit my "modded" top fairing.
