To be fair, this thing is geared for grunt and just chewing up motorway miles, so I doubt it'll make any difference :lol:

Plus, I do have an extra 850cc, ontop of that Vespa :lol:

New Arches

Post by Crazy_C » Wed Aug 07, 2013 3:10 pm

Got my new rear arches fitted today, and I'm now needing a nice wide set of rear wheels to fill them up too!! Looking better though now there isn't a massive gap between box and wheels!

A nice set of 90s wide f1 wheels/tyres would look good on that :twisted:

I'm gonna see about getting a set of banded steels made up for it, but all in due time! Still gotta make up the arch supporting brackets as they wobble a little bit (not much though) at speed.

Custom Fairing Construction Started

Post by Crazy_C » Sun Sep 01, 2013 12:28 am

Well I've been playing today, and started building the front fairing. Got the skeleton built, just need to fibreglass over the skeleton and get it looking pretty.

Also a couple of photos from Kent Chrome n Cruisers show.

surely there must be a bikini fairing that you can make fit you need something behind the chicken wire to stop the glassfibre sticking to the rest of the bike
