Picked up my finished panels

spent all day trying to make the fairings fit properly, what a f*&^n nightmare i now know why they were such a bad job in the first place, i wish i had checked it looks like they are bad copy fibreglass side panels, they will have to stay as is until i get some more funds to get originals

. At the mo it is passable but there are gaps where there should not be will post pics tomorrow.

On the upside i won the bluespot complete system on ebay.

Maybe there's 2 gaskets fitted to fill the gap,

It looks like it has had a band welded round the end of the header.
