got my panels back from being repaired,i wasn't going to fit them until i was ready for paint but i sold my accident damaged FG ones so had no other choice.

and a nice little tga from tyga arrived with a new screen,RC45 seat unit,and a few odds and sods

I seen this bike last night and the repair work was really good, so much so that I'll be sending mine off to the same guy once I'm ready to go get mine painted.

the seat unit and exhaust look really good, in the way that the angle of the exhaust's are the same as the seat unit

Looking good, like the seat unit.

Are you going to drill holes in the rear of it to mount it?

If you glue some high density foam to the top of the subframe you might be able to get away without rear mounts (depending on your weight!).

Nice. Are you going to stay faithful to the Castrol paint scheme?

Love the scheme and exhaust, back in the good ol' Aaron Slight days, my favourite.

Most talented rider never to win a championship by the way.

cheers cam, the inside of the tyga fairing has the little nipples like the standard fairing to plug into the undertray up near the cdi,the other solo seat i have used to bounce up and down when you were riding until i fixed that but gareth was up the other day,grabbed the seat and moved the whole bike before the seat panel moved.
i think i might get away with no rear mounts.

no,the castrol boddywork in on the other bike,this bike is getting painted up in something very different,something i have always wanted but never had,it'll more than likely not be to everyones tastes but it's what i'd like an NC30 to look like so thisis my chance to do it.
and i agree ,slighty should have won,more than once....

thats the first thing my mate ponted out and the first time i noticed it,yeah it does follow the lines of the exhaust well,thats a relief,i was a little worried it would look daft compared to the shape of the nose and lines of the pipe.

not bad mark,still get moments were it's pretty sore and i don't think i'll be riding the nuts off the bikes anytime soon,but like Rick was saying to me last night,just take things easy and it'll pay off in the long run

I think that's looking great mate. I can't help think how lucky you were that it fell on the right side because to have destroyed that system would have been tragic. On another note Gertie is going to fired up for the first time in two years tomorrow all being well, fingers crossed I haven't really screwed things up!

cheers bud,believe it or not it did fall onto it's LHS but i'm very thankful i had the crash mushrooms to keep the majority of the bike off the ground
