I just cut it off and tidied it up :-)

Mine's same as Lloydie's, but sprayed graphite metallic, and to stop the paint chipping on the front of the nose section behind the front wheel I stuck a freebie Dunlop tank protector on it and sprayed over the top.

When I get around to repaint mine I'm just going to use some thick vinyl at the front to stop the stone chips .

Lloydie- I think it was a cry for help as your bike wished it was all yellow after you fitted the belly! Your yellow decals look good!!
Griff.

Yer them decals when remover I should get 10 bhp more lol

My bike had been down on the rhs at some time in its life .
Rhs fairing was sliver
Tank was red
And belly pan was yellow .
It's a mixed matched bike
So when I get it stripped and repainted
In Lamborghini green with a gold shift it will be super sonic :-)

Seb, Twas £99 plus £7.50 delivery - they are "manufacturing" it as we speak and will be here in 7 days I am told!!

Just looking forward to fitting it and seeing a different look for my bike. Its good seeing Al's AMCQ46 - as I know his looks ace IMO!

Though if I owned a dog house, then id be in it at the moment, if you know what I mean!!?? She wasn't too happy as we are just getting ready for a house move ££££££££s!

Happy days. Griff

not a bad price considering they charge you £20 if you just want the fitting brackets

Oooo, I bloody hope I get the brackets with it??!!

You do, and heat reflective tape

Cheers Al- I've just heard back from them confirming all necessary fittings are included. Did you have any dramas fitting it? Griff.

Na, it's fairly simple, but i did cut up some old wellies to make some rubber washers to fit under the bolts that tighten onto the GRP and made sure they were loctited so I didn't have to run them too tight.

Loctite it is! My missus wouldn't be happy me cutting her Hunter wellies up!!!

Thanks for the locite remark going to go do it now swear blind I tightend them all up before i went out yesterday and one is lose
