If I try to rotate the pic it’ll always be upside down .
I’ve made a mental note to hold it left next time 👍
I have to say you're doing a lot better than you were Lloydie, in your last post with photo's, 2 out of 3 being in the correct orientation is most certainly a big improvement :clap:
And now you seem to have a handle on what happens when it goes wrong, so well done :thumbup:

Picked up a new track fairing today and spend 5 hours trying to fit them . Wasn’t easy but they’re on . FYI don’t buy race fairings from A16 they’re sh1t .
Glad I only paid £5 for them off eBay .

She's a beaut.

5GBP for track fairings is a steal.

lloydie, are you going to make the bike road legal, or is it pure track bike?

Yes road legal too . I’m building it for the track but I want it on the road too but The problem I have with the road fairings Is paint ! I can not decide how to get it painted .
The track stuff will be done in white with the blade decals like in these pictures but with a front number board instead of a light and rear boards on the race unit ,mainly as it’ll be cheap and easy touched up and look good in track pics lol .
Not got a clue how I want it in road trin (open to suggestion )so until I decide I’ll get all the original road body work and the black tank all fixed and peeped for paint .
Going to get 2 sets of storm wheels for it to use on the track and have the 6 spokes for the road .

I like these for fairings. I think it would look really cool.
