    Looks really good, John (@johnb). The subtle metallic colors are really effective.

    @bikequeen, @chinesegeorge, @gblair, @fiveten, thanks a lot all. A pity that most of it will be hidden in the end.

    @johnb I leave the cowlings/fairings off the make and make a little stand to display the side by side

    @bikequeen, have been thinking about leaving one side of the fairing off, but my daughter prefers it to be fully closed.

    Hi @johnb, the customer comes first, just be sure to take some photos before fixing the fairings.

    Did glue the frame together and painted it silver as mentioned by the instructions.


    Also started to remove the seam on the tires, lots of grinding but it works quite well.

    The silver shade is really nice.
