If it fits mate ill do you one. And ill ship it back with the rest of your stuff and if you get hold of something im after we can come to some sort of trade im sure. But i thought yours was a F2 frame? Same as mine.if so im making a custom bellypan that suits thr bike frame and rad surround.if you would prefer one of those. Check the pics out ( when i have finished) and you can have one of these, but it will take a little longer.

the n2 and f2 have the same frame andy,so it would be good to see what your one is like when you make it,but if you look at the black/red n2 in norbos thread in lincoln bike shop/show,it looks like its a lc2 bellypan on it,looks great m8!!!cheers for the offer andy...top man.

Finally i get the bellypan cast out. And it looks like i will have to do quite a bit of remodelling to make this look good around the F2 rad. It only means a remodel newmould and another cast......nothing is quick or easy is it?

Looks like it may fit a little better than anticipated. A few bits to trim and then find a way to bolt it at the rad section Pitty i cant say the same for thr headlight fairing to make it fit and still use my clocks and f2 headllight bracket(woth a few welding adjustments to fit a round headlight.......anyone got any shortcuts or smart ideas?

Remodelled to fit the existing f2 frame with a little bit of Grp. And im well pleased, i had to bend op a frame bracket by 90 degrees but it looks kind of "factory"

just had a little play on photoshop for a colour scheme...this is getting pretty close,so whats the feedback, im thinking it may look a bit too much like a snake, and not a kenny eagle with a speedblock stripe.....what do you guys think?

Like your art work but have to agree does look a little like a snake ,You say that the tool kit was nickel plated did you do this yourself ,or get it done by someone else ,imwondering about buying a diy plating kit ,not heard if many have used one

Dave. The plating was done on a home plating kit that am Ate of mine has, it took a few attempts to get it right....(length of time in the solution, how warm to have the solution etc ) before it got as good as the plating that i paid a profassional company to do...but i have to say.the results are recomended....
And....re the snake, that was my thought....ill make the lines a little straighter to help against that...thanks for the feedback and for looking!

On a related subject, I have a pair of exhausts that are otherwise perfect, but the downpipes are completely shot.... Would you do another pair for the right money?

I bent up a set myself and they were ok. But ended up using a pair from an ebay seller that bends pipes and sells nothing but....i think his seller name was " thepipebender" . The curve was bang on......i think i showed it in my thread somewhere. It would be virtually impossible to trim them to fit your bike without having it to work with. The pipes were a bargain at less than £20 ! I think this would be the best way to go .ill certainly help out wherever i can...take a browse on the bay. And ill have another check for his details too.
