Not as many as you would think. The main hold-ups were design changes from both myself and Dave. For example, we would put on the exhausts and be happy but then we would change our minds and think that they would look better at a different angle. Of course this would all be decided after they had all been polished and mounted rather than planning it all in advance.
It's the small details that I am happiest with. One of the first things that I wanted to do was to highlight the trellis frame so had it painted red. While it was apart, we got chatting and Dave mentioned that the little cable ties attached to the frame really spoilt the lines so when the frame was stripped, he welded lugs on the inside of the frame so that all the wiring would be held in place on the inside - and voila, a completely cable tie free trellis frame. Not obvious at first glance but compare them side by side and you'll see an immediate difference. That's why I think the project has taken so long as one idea set off another idea and before you know it, it's out of control (in a nice way though).
We are still bouncing a few more ideas around about the exhaust system. Thinking of losing it altogether and exiting it through the seat unit but that will have to wait for a while yet. We'll get this back on the road first.
