Its true..I should be in the shed but I want to take my time..I need to remove the crash bungs to fit the belly pan properly I used to just pop the standard panels over the metal part but I dont think thats a good idea with painted panels and I have just realised its MOT has run out
I will do my best to get them fitted over the weekend but I also need to prep the CBR for Cadwell ( in the bloody rain probably) on Monday.
And there is the small matter of this shitty weather.
Patience young padawans :D
Oh and thanks for all the feedback guys
EDIT...Viper I had mitigating circumstances regarding the washing of my bike..it was..erm..I mean..I was...

Very, very lush!
I'm probably a bit of a Scrooge,

but I thought that was a bit expensive; and did he run out of black paint, or did you ask him to do the number board that size?
It'll look great when it's all on the bike and I'm sure you're a happy camper right now! :)
P.s. I'm with you on the: "what's up with this weather?" thing!!!

Its looks so much better having the left light covered rather than the right. Nice one.

Very nice, tempted to do it to mine, nc30 style! great to see panels finally, I've been following this thread with interest, can't wait to see how they look on the bike. Great price as well not too expensive at all. Have to agree with speedy about the number board though, the oki one looks to be a bit bigger, but thats just nit picking!! well done with it. by the way how did you fill the hole, ive been following speedys thread but not seen one on how you did it!

I asked him to do th number board like that... :)
I fitted the panels last night and they do look good....but....the OKI is a bit small and he had to move the colours about so that he could get the red on the tank to line up properly but for what the total conversion has cost including paint job, buying the panels and the wheels and getting them powdered has not come to alot of money in fact only just more than dream machine charge for a respray alone and I still have the option of putting the RT panels back on whenever I like.
Pics to follow on the next dry day we get.
