well..... PC did the painting this time ;) And this is what we ended up with today :)

Very happy with it so far.... :)

I will give it a couple of days sitting in the sun... then rub it back with 1500 / 2000 and a few cut and polishes.... then it should be looking even better !

Looks very Power Ranger like Swab, should have done it in blue and borrowed Photomikes leathers for the complete kit.

well it was looking good... but a minor mishap today.... it has been sitting in the sun all day.... and the lower fairing must have been caught by a gust of wind... and was tipped over :( so a few scratches on it now..... :(

Oh well, they are not too noticeable at least, just a bit irritating...

mate the bike is at work so no pics atm but basically it is a piece of thin steel strip the has been bent in the middle to form a right angle
one end has the crash knob bolt go through it & then it comes out parallell to the top of the crash & the bullet camera mounts on top its pretty basic but on testing it the top right corner is obscured by part of the fairing but it kinda looks cool as there will be a part of the bike permanently in shot :D
