The 7-6-5-4 will look good. I never knew there was a difference in countersunk bits. It's actually pretty shocking. Although, I should have known, knowing about quality of tools and what not. I think it's going to look good and look forward to the finished product.

 

hey JNS you have a good website I can get F2/3 series track fairings? Or if you have any for sale or anyone you know

 

You can't buy new Cheetah fairings anymore - SharkSkinz are available for the F2 which usually run in the $800 to $900 range, other than that, it's just a matter of searching eBay and forum sites, like racing forum sites namely... sorry I can't be of more help than that!

 

I finally got the rearsets finished - here's some pics of the progress...

Center-punch marks on the right-side piece:



Holes drilled on the right:



Countersinks done, and re-polished:



Divets on the left-side piece, for guiding the bit used for the initial holes:



Countersinks and re-polish finished on the left:



Left side reassembled and remounted:



I'll get better pics of both sides mounted - it was after dark when I finished up last night.
The holes are not absolutely perfect, with regards to their spacing, but you have to be looking for that to notice it - when mounted on the bike, you really don't see any imperfections at all, so I'm happy with how they turned out... once you're a couple of feet away, they look perfect!

 

I got some pics of the bike in full, with the newly modified OEM rearsets...

Looks great! It's one thing to drill a perfectly straight line, but it's a whole another to do several in close proximity! Hats off.

 

Thanks Mattson, and by the way, I used your tip on cutting with alcohol - it worked like a charm!

 

I'm really impressed. Looks like something you would have had to pay good money for. The alcohol tip worked huh? Man I learn something new everyday. The bike looks beautiful. Excellent job as always

 

this bike is spectacular !

 

Thanks Gary - with racing season getting nearer, and all the costs associated with that, I probably won't be doing anything to this one for a while, but who knows, maybe I'll finally get the raise I've been waiting for, for almost three years now!
