Cheers, don't think I will ever sell it, but I've joked with my dad about building a helicopter so we will see

About the cooling, I second David on that: plan for vents to let the air flow go out.

Also, I don't know if your bike engine is oil-cooled, but whatever it is, I think you will need an oil cooler. On bikes with no oil cooler, I've learnt that the airflow on the sump is enough to cool down the oil. Here your sump will not receive any airflow and there is a risk of oil overheating.

Hope this will help
Cheers mate, I feel like I'm getting somewhere now as the last few months has been a bit slow, I've got loads to do now so hopefully there will be daily updates!

Yeah I think your right with the cooling, I'm going to have oil temp on my dash so will see how it go's, it's only got a water/oil cooler, I could always swap the under cover panel for a louvered one, will have to make a louver tool then

I got it done cheap by my mates brother, but I would guess about £350, I think it's well worth it as the amount of time I've spent on it, there's not one run on it, also it doesn't build up on the edges like normal paint
