Looks nice,did you make a buck then a mould or is it assembled as seperate parts glassed together.Also is it for a book chassis and would you consider making another.

Ray,

Nosecone is a Luego item suitably cut in half and widened by 4" (to fit my chassis).

Bonnet was indeed made from a moulded buck.

Whole lot then joined together.

Will I make another. Probably some time after I'm on the road. Will give me the opportunity to sort out a few bits that I'm not happy with!

love the subtle scoop, almost subliminal......

Not to be negative but I think when you're in the car and sat down low.... you will have difficulty seeing over it. Raising the seats will then present you with another issue regarding harness location points.

Other than that it looks great! Well done... you tried something we didn't!

I like the bike

Chaps,

Thanks for comments

I can see over it ok, just can't see n/s wheel very well!

If you have a look at this pic, you'll see the reason! A pair of SU's

Steve,

That'll be me Suzuki GSX1300R.

Nice bike. Apart from the GT500 rusting in pieces on my driveway, longest I've ever owned a bike (about 3 years now).

175bhp, 15 - 72 mpg, 1000 miles per set of tyres, about 5.8sec for 0 - 100, apparently 200mph top, and only 350 quid to insure!!

What's your project - do I recall a Kwaker of some kind mentioned on another thread?
