Opinions please,
I'm thinking about moving the bottom of the front in closer to the forks ( as shown in the pic by my funny arrows )
I have already half fibre glassed side bit's to cover the wiring.I like the angle its on at the moment compared to the forks, but dont like the gap.
So should I continue making the side bits to finish it of? Or chop it off and make it closer and make new covers?

I'd pull the whole thing in closer <s>Wig</s> Jo, but I'm a big fan of tucking the lights/fairing up as close to the forks as possible on any bike, it makes it look... err... I dunno how to describe it, I just reckon it looks good.
But yeah, keep it at the current angle for sure.

To illustrate my point, look how TOUGH this bike looks with its headlights tucked right in. ;)

I reckon it already follows the fork angle well. If you pull the bottom in and not the top it will look weird. If you can't pull the top in any more because of clocks and what-not I reckon your solution is an internal housing to cover the cables and fill in the blanks. If you do it at the actual edges it will make it look bulky but if you did it say 50mm in from each side in flat black it would look tidier. Something akin to banditrod's light bracket maybe?

1st who knows Darrens Mum? (Turbokat) so I can ring her up and dig up some dirt on him,[:0] all juicy gossip blackmail information gratefully received;)

But yes your bike is very pretty I like:D


Gix11 gets what I mean, if I move the bottom closer but not the top I think it might look strange. I need to keep the upper distance because I don't have enuff room to fit what I want already :(

The covers I have been working on, tuck in close and discreetly so I think I might finish them up and see what they look like before I get out the angle grinder.
Will post a pic of them when done[^]
