Most of it is out of sight from the front, its the sides thats the problem. I'm looking at fabbing some type of cover so the wires are not visible from the sides. Fairling that It will be a chop job to the wires cause there really is a shed load of stuff in there :thumbdown:

My headlight might look like it will cover this up but to be honest there ain't gona be a lot of room behind there, yes most of it will be covered but there won't be much room.

i'll be stripping back the wiring loom to but only shortening the wires as i'll have to change all the connectors for the clocks anyway, those that are left for the swich gear etc should fit behind the fairing.

hopefully my old man will drop some sheet stainless steel of tonight so i can fab up the mounts,

i'm at a bit of a work stoppage at the moment,

waiting on clocks to do the wiring
mirror mounts to mount the mirrors
steel to fab the brakets
and the exhausts to fab the link pipes and mounts for them.
and obviously waiting for next tuesday to start the painting and finish the polishing.

Got head light mounted today,

Image

it's not a nice a mount as i'd like but considering my tools and work space etc it will do, once panted it will blend in better and double up as a clock mount and will hide all the wires a treat!!

was also considering a small fly screen???????? any thoughts on that?

No, I tried one and small flies still get on the paint. Or pant.(see above) :lol:

Anyway, if the Allies impose a no fly zone you won't need it.
