    oh yeah, make sure you have complete fairing on and lined up before you start making brackets, no use just doing top one 1st then finding out it's soo high the belly pan wont fit...should be about 3 hours work me thinks.

    alot of the proTs have gsxr fairings ask him if the screan is included if so get them.Screan was on the bike photo but not on the parts photo.If you want to keep costs down the gsxrs would be ideal as it has a tail cone also that you could sell if you dont use.

    fitting will be easy. use zippy ties and duct tape to hold it roughly in place, and potential bracket mounting points should be fairly obvious.
    an extra pair of hands helps too.

    No screen but should be able to find something, he is also selling a Pilot power 1 with the bike for $15 buy now, so I might see if I can swing that into the deal.

    I hope you never see mine, it's kind of embarrassing but I will be fixing it up soon so I can get me a big boys bike.

    Bought the GSXR fairings for $120 delivered. Was going to grab the Pilot power 1 but it's nearly 6 years old so thought best to leave it. Will post photos once I have put them on, might even paint then over as well.

    Race bike use rattle fibre primer then do top coat with a small paint roller.You know your going to keep damaging it anyway.

    Or you could spray it

    Cheers guys for your help, got a nice rattle can red I was thinking of using, nothing special about it but it is only for a race bike so meh.

    Can't wait to see her when she is finished!

    dont be shy asking for projects from yacht builders, we spend fucken hours making molds for shitty little parts.

    I could imagine, what parts projects could be of use though?
