| I did exactly that Neil, and the answer to your other question, no I havent had any problems with it at all. I check the level in there every time I remove the tank, [which has been quite a lot lately] and the coolant level has been constant. I got the bottle from ebay, I found a guy on there that converted drink bottles in to coolant bottles. I think it looks a lot nicer and when you look at the back of the bike, that fucking ugly white one is gone. It also opens the gap behind the engine which helps air flow around the motor and helps to keep my regulator cool and stop it popping. I'm making a fibreglass shroud for the Busa headlamp I won on ebay for 99p at the moment but I'll have the tank off for you tomorrow night and run off a few pictures mate. |

Mate, if you lived a bit closer you could have it, but I think it would cost more to send than its worth.
I got it off ebay and the guy said it was from a quad bike if that helps. It looks better on screen than it really is. To be honest its a lump of shite matey.
That said I am going to use the bottom half of the mask to overlay fibreglass as a pattern then relese the glass from it and glass it to the top half I'm making at the moment.
Got to get some more resin on the way home from work tonight. |

| Hey matey, I saw earlier on that you wanted to get your hub rebuilt. If you want to do it without taking your 'blade off the road I have a spare you could get rebuilt then swap it into yer bike and send me yer old one... |

OK so I got my Busa headlamp fitted and wired in, happy days! I then went round the glass with duct tape and choped up a wheet-a-bix box to over lay my fibreglass onto. At this stage of the game Im only looking to get a basic shape and the centre for the light. I have other plans for the bottom half of the shroud, so I'm pleased with what I have done so far.

Easy as to peel it away from the duct tape because it has a shiney surface. |

I gave the old plastic a light spray of WD40 just to act as a release agent, then cut strips of glass mat ready to bond with the resin.
Gave it 2 layers and left it overnight to harden right off. |

After trimming the lower section I stuck it to the top half with more resin.
It is not quite right on the right side as it kinks in just a tiny bit, but when the unit is finishe it will get filled and sanded.
Still at this time all I'm looking for is a basic shape. |

I have cut the small row of lights from the bottom of my clock unit that shows the turn signal, neutral, oil, side stand etc, and I'm gonna mount them in the top of the unit so I used Larges blue foam method to build up the top of the unit and give me something to overlay the fibreglass onto.
I added a bit of glass to the top corners of the unit so I have something to work the sides into. |

Thats about where I am at the moment, and I'm quite happy so far that its not disproportionate with the bike.
Still got quite a lot to do, but I made a start and its not as daunting as I thought it would be.
Perhaps my methods are a bit weard, but I try to figure around problems and use whats at hand.
Got quite a lot on over the next week so it will have to wait now untill next weekend to get the structure finished.
Then I can start on the filling and sanding and remove the rough edges.
Tune in next week for another exciting installment.

| Thanks mate, but like I said its just a basic shape and will be enhanced with filla, so as long as I dont fuck it up at the last minute, it should turn out OK. |

| Awesome glass work mate! I like the detailed build picture of just the headlight unit. It will help me with some glassing job I have to do. By the way, it looks great on ya bike. |
Z250 cafe project complete. Track bike done. On the lookout for fighter project!
