    @gblair, thank you, George. Also looking forward myself to finally put all those covers in place. When all decals are on I will first apply another clear coat to protect them.

    @chinesegeorge, thanks a lot, George. She definitely is, currently I'm receiving a daily inspection by her to see how everything progresses.

    @fiveten, thank you, Spiros.

    Glad to see that all is going well, @johnb. There have been a few cases where gloss clear coats have ruined the decals, this has happened to me. One way of preventing any damage is to apply a coat of semi-gloss clear first before using the full gloss, an idea I picked up from the internet. I tried it on the Porsche I’m currently building and it seems to have worked OK.

    Work on the frame is done, so just one last photo session before I apply the covers.

    If I saw these photos outside of this site, I would think they were photos of an actual motorcycle. This has to be one of your best builds, John (@johnb).

    As a former motorcyclist, I want to say that I agree with George (@gblair) when he stated that this looks very realistic John (@johnb). Very well done indeed! Already a stunner, when the fairings are added, it is going to be a knock out.

    Really nice outcome, John (@johnb), and it was a pleasure to watch this come together in this build. One of your best, so far.
