My 583, so near to completion!

As Donington was snowed off, we've had some more fiddling time and took her up to Langar airfield for the first proper run today She's looking great with the Aprilia fairings adjusted to suit, just a bit more set-up to do, a few stickers and straighten those wheels to do (not that you can feel they're bent, strangely!) I love how she sounds and feels, just want to try it round some corners now!

That fairing looks great on there. Way better than PTB's updated SSie in fact... "Much" work involved to make it fit?

Errr nope, tiny bit cut off bottom rear of each side and 2 holes drilled to mount to SS frame, surprised how well it fits TBH !
The hardest but was altering the ricambi weiss bellypan to fit, if it wasn't for racing it wouldn't have been needed but even so that only took half an hour

She looks beautiful, but don't you forget she's a dirty little strumpet that needs a good hiding to get moving! Hope the new heart is beating soundly.

Yeah, but no, but yeah, but everyone knows that it's like results that count!
