Good job Lloyd, I'm surprised you didn't go for some braided hose bits and pieces. Especially as you only have the bikini fairing so everything is on show.

I suppose the other option would be a series of O rings in the indentations to give a little more grip. :think:

I started to fit the under tray to the bike today. What a sod! It is no on just not secure. That bit comes tomorrow if we get the stoppage of rain my phone says we will. Fingers crossed.

I was very tempted to pit the gazebo up over the bike. But last time I tried this I was working on a moped , a gust of wind then proceeded to launch the gazebo into me sitting on the moped and then me, the moped and gazebo own the garden :lol: :roll:

Made the Storm jealous.
Wheeled a 50cc ped out of the shed, parked it up next to the Storm and spent an hour cleaning and polishing the ped.....
