Probably a bit too much red but you'll never see it all when it's together.

Nightmare trying to fit fzr air box on the thunderace carbs, had to cut bigger holes in the box for the oversized rubbers, it's a struggle to fit on as the bottom of air box hits the carbs, thunderace box was too tall and lifted the tank up about 30mm.

Just waiting on new clip ons and levers to arrive then I'll mount the headlight then I'll move onto the single seat unit I'm making.

As usual Dave, a lovely piece of craftmanship. :nod: :thumbsup:
Bit of advice. Buy a good bed and a good pair of shoes, because if you aren't in one you'll be in the other.
