The big question is does the engine stop if you let the clutch out in neutral?

Photobucket seems to be having a hissy fit, so here are some belated pics.

When I got it the rear fender had been rather poorly 'eliminated'
Image

so I cut the one off the zzr600D out the back and glued it on. It isn't perfect, but there will be no reason for it not to pass a roadworthy.
Image

Because it no longer has the H frame I modified the fill panels
Image

and tried some cheapo carbon look vinyl, which didn't work out, but was worth a try. If I can get some better stuff I might even have another go.
Image

10.15 Thursday night - test fitting the fairings, though they finally got fitted at 10.15 Friday morning.
Image

The reason it ended up that particular colour?

I took him for his first ride today after I got him registered - and ended up here

the fan switch doesn't work and I didn't test it during the build. :oops:
It will be here in a couple of days, but in the meantime we are fitting a manual switch.
