now i know why you guys dont run fairings

[crazymofo]

after i attended the dawn service, i came home, and was quickly bored, no bike to fiddle with, meant i had no choice but to start my prep work for paint.

what a mission! now i can see why you blokes decide to go with no fairings,

admittedly im being quite anal about what im doing, as 2 previous botched jobs means im taking my time and doing things right, this took me 6hrs to do.. and im only around half way thru, with the main, belly and front fairing peices yet to be done, ditto the tank!
