    Looking great, standing on the middle stand, Spiros @fiveten
    Does it also have a functional sidestand.

    Thanks my friend @rory!
    Some finishing touches (with extra care, as the model is too fragile...) and off crossing the finish line!

    Your QA dept will have to be extra careful when they check it out, Spiros @fiveten.

    I'm afraid they have to be 🙂 , my friend @chinesegeorge!
    So far so good, though, they seem to take care of it 🙂

    Trying to secure the stubborn spark plug cap to the engine 🙂

    That should secure it, Spiros @fiveten

    Thanks my friend @johnb! A stubborn one and my cyano is reeeeally slow setting (probably long passed its usage date 🙂 )

    And just when you think it has stuck it usually falls off, @fiveten.

    Looks great, Spiros (@fiveten). I think you have beaten this one into submission. The spark plug cap isn't made out of that weird plastic that nothing seems to stick to, is it? I have been using some thick super glue that is easily 9 or 10 months old, and like you say, it eventually sticks. Gives me plenty of time to position the part. Have you tried two-part epoxy or Gorilla Glue?

    Oh, my! So true, my friend @chinesegeorge! Together with the horrifying "snap", upon trying to handle the bike with everything protruding (was this the gear lever gone? 😄😄 )

    Thanks my friend @gblair! The spark plug cap with its wire is one piece vinyl affair that is also inflexible enough as to not want to rest in its supposed position... 🤭🤭🤭🤭
    Will have to try some kind of epoxy, your suggestion looks great!
