Trial fit of rear arch.....thought it would be easy, but it was as fiddly as hell, not fully bolting up yet as I want to do a full fuel tank check before I fit all the back end.

Having never liked the front cycle wing stays I am going to set about a nice sturdy pair of my own design and as usual it will be bits of scrap I have lying around.....this time it will come from a scrapped glass top coffee table that got dismantled after the glass broke and as usual I kept it thinking that will come in handy sometime well now is the time.

Point of interest,5mm flat was substituted for 3mm on the original from the book as it flexes like a bugga when you are driving.

Nothing to a man of your calibra Kev.
