New bodywork to fit.

Wiring looks like left over spaghetti and Kev is getting regular e mails asking which colour wire does what !

All in the hope of losing a bit of weight, but it looks like the only weight loss is me, from worry !

15th Feb is ages away, my drop off date is next Saturday.

spent £150 but lost 1kg of silencer and gained 2hp- so near enough got 50 now- not a bad day's achievement all in all

Pretty good Miles
Gaining 2 bhp is like loosing around 6kg
as optimum power to weight is roughly 2.9kg/bhp

I'm hoping last seasons fairing weighed 10kg and the chain was sapping 5bhp.
