Looks a good project. You will find it easier to view pictures if you gap them under each other like I just did,

keep the pics coming

Exhaust envi

Hi I have got a similar project, have been collecting parts to get started, hope to get going on it in the next couple of weeks. Be interested to watch your progress, looks like we have the same exhaust system, I like the carbon heat shield fitted. I am getting rid of the rear sets and fitting the stock items back. I am also going to fit the tea tray on the back again don't fancy getting a wet back, just got to extend the rear frame were it has been cut short!

You wouldn't need so much Sellotape if they made proper twisted wire connections instead of using chocky blocks.....

He's covering it in glitter

well engine all blasted and primed and top coat aplied sorry hellcat no glitter !!!

so once the engine is back into the frame it will have some nice carbon belt covers and sprocket cover fitted . and i know i have painted the swinging arm bearings i have new ones to fit .

I'm disappointed in you

Doing a good job there !
