Just need to polish up the main part of the fairing now and it will be ready to go on the bike.

More to come Monday

Ben

Looks spot on. Make sure your fairing mounts are sturdy enough. You seem to be missing the top side mounts at the moment - if you don't run those the main front mount looks a little flimsy. Ally is a great material when there is enough of it to prevent vibration causing failure, skimp on it and it will break.

When are you out testing - might pop along to watch (or at least send my spies)

I'll be taking the tank off to do more engine/airbox work, so have not fitted the side fairing mounts for the purpose of this photograph.

I will be out a week Wednesday at Mallory running an engine in, if you're about.

Well Done Ben =D> =D> =D>

That is a really fine job "for a race bike".

Before long you'll be restoring road bikes judging by the standard of your work

Cheers

Fantastic !!

Build me one please - I want to stick some lights on and let the kerb siders guess the bike when I take it out. That would be wicked =D>

I was fortunate enough to see this work of art in the flesh today, and the pictures do not do it justice

It is awesome =D>

Well done Ben =D>

Thanks guys, I call it the KR-09.

The pictures don't really do it justice, Bernie can vouch for that, as he stopped off on his way home today.

Can't wait to get it finished and on the track.
