£75 ADMIN FEE? 'Kin 'ell..... doesn't cost me THAT much to insure the bike.

Admington fees they take the piss. We get to see the bike tomorrow? I'm sure you'll hear my backfire before you see me but the bikes button ugly atm. I wanna see some Sexy gs.

So to those who didn't make knockerdown (you missed out on an amazing weekend!) I appologise for no update in a while but the weekend away with the boys was lovely and i've had a few days without working on the GS now the pressure is off!

So anyway heres some pictures to bring you up to date.

Here is where i sit, the creases are no more and i am happy with the way the trimmed seat now fits


Took the angle grinder to the ignition so it would stop rubbing on the steering lock


Wired the dash up



New rear light finally turned up!


K&N turned up so fitted that and went for a ride with my Dad on his Harley (yes i know!)







Old plugs are the white and VERY lean ones, new ones are the tan colour (almost)



Rear light fitting




Fitted WHITE (yeah right so much for white!!) dash LEDs


Bit more cutting for rear light






Used CAD to make up an undertray template



Finished painting the mudguard


Made a steel undertray from the CAD template



Wrapped it in carbon fibre



Wired in the numberplate lights


Few pics of the bike with mudguard and undertray









Much better with a realistic size numberplate




Exciting news (for me anyway), the seat unit is going to the bodyshop next to my unit on monday to be painted so by the end of next week i should have a bike in one colour! Then all i have to do is sort the undertray so its complete and final and then enjoy it!

Excelent work

Looking good MJ, can't wait to see the tailpiece painted, it will transform it
