Looks stunning mate π Where did you get the tail tidy from? It's one of Norbo's. It's adjustable so can recess the tail light if you like Took ages to work out how it went together lol I still have 2 small brackets and a reg plate holder left. Steve Cheers Steve I think Iβll get one for my build π

I had a similar problem with fitting my brembos to RGV legs with a bracket from TRC, its amazing how out they were just cos of the flashing on the cast leg lowers, a gentle dremel had it sorted tho it didnt look like that was all it would take.

Mouse Yes the side stand certainly sorts the gear lever clearance issues Just make sure it's sitting stable before you walk away. Don't know how I did it but managed to get it to fall over. Luckily no body work and landed on wooden decking so no harm done Had no problem dealing with billet world. Emailed for a price, sent the money and it arrived a few days later Not cheap though Steve

Looks good but was it worth the wait ? How much did the paint job cost if you donβt mind

Looks good but was it worth the wait ? How much did the paint job cost if you donβt mind That was 3 months, quoted 6 weeks Think the issue was he couldn't find the correct paint code so had to make it up. He spoke to me about it a few weeks ago. Certainly worth the wait as it's flawless. The finish is like glass The cost? Cough, cough The actual price of Β£600 ain't too bad The fact it's a vat registered company is the problem so totalled Β£720 π I could have got it done by Mark a bit cheaper but don't trust it in the post so collecting it would have cost a fair bit in fuel and my time Steve

Very nice indeed. Those barrel base nuts, are they 12mm heads? Yes they are 12mm I used to get them off member somethingelsie but he now can't get them. I've used them on all my non standard build. That set I bought from the USA listed as banshee head nuts They only just fit in. One of the studs was non standard so didn't have the slightly short thread and I had to bring it down a bit. I'll try and find who I got them off if you want, they were not cheap Steve
