I was wondering how ebony link pipes would sound. Most decent musical instruments are made from the stuff. Why can't we bikers have some of that for our music?

Seriously though Malbo, your work is nothing short of the dogs bollocks and a Crufts winner at that. Very nice work.
I hope you enjoy the fruits of your labour this season.

Default Some more new stuff

Was going with a fairing with a twin headlight fairing but have changed direction again and am now going naked. Have fitted a nice 5 inch tacho with water temp, oil temp and oil pressure with shift light. Going with a white faced 60 mm speedo when comes and some koso warning lights

Had to fiberglass the inside of the tail plastic to prevent some cracks coming for the back seat edge from spreading. Only used half the resin and hardener but something tells me I'll be going back with a new batch and using the whole thing.

It's currently resting on my welding table setting up. Going to check on Monday (working 14.5 hours tomorrow) to see if it hardened up (doubt it).

That, and my new fancy of the day is AR15's (hide the wallet! crap - memorized the numbers)
