Wow that's worth the wait and looking a bit special. Don't Samco make Red hoses then. What brand front disks are those? Make sure that White cable tie you have on the drain hoses is not constricting them, it looks like it's squeezing them rather than just hold them in place.

Also the fairing bracket on the frame above the gene cover, there's another bracket behind it and I don't recognise that, maybe it's a lower (bikini) fairing bracket. What you should have there is a little bendy bracket (similar to the one that sits on the bottom sprocket cover bolt and holds the sidestand switch wire in place) it should have a rubber coating on one end and bends around and holds the main loom and any other bits in place on the inside of the frame.

Told you we would start spotting things in a pics. You have passed scrutineering :lol:

Keep up the good work mate, looks fantastic :thumbup:

Won't those brake discs overheat and warp? Doesn't look like air can get through them very well?
Or am I being stupid? :lol:


Bikes looking good though, hope it's worth the time and effort :thumbup: (What am I saying? Of course it will be! :wink:)
