Looks great! The second to last picture looks like you have a very expensive wheelbarrow in the garden. :D
Can I get a pic of the underside of the seat. I need to re-cover mine and I want to see how you have it stapled. You did a good job, no seams or wrinkles visible from the top.

Very impressed so far Sean with what you've got done, to be fair it puts what I had done to shame lol. Are you keeping the standard colours or got something else in mine?

thanks jamie, glad u like so far, but as for the fairing colours....... i still havent really decided!! i was thinking maybe some sort of custom design based on the new blade colours, cause when this ones done im gonna do a back 2 factory spec one with all my spares (only need engine and front forks lol!).
