Not as easy as it might seem and i work with car bodys and paint for a living.

Nice to meet you at the weekend,U2U me if you want my number for advice

Thanks for the info.


Looks like i need to make a master first then - might get a sheet of ali and have a play. If it works out, might stick with that.

You should post a pic of your bike, she looks great - and goes very well. Despite the early modification attempts

Nice form in the races and looks like there's more to come as you get more use to the bike.
