Lets build a dragbike

I've started on the final build of the new bike. The downside is, I've been pillaging bits off the old one and it's starting to look a bit sorry for itself.
Bodywork is now in white primer awaiting masking out and a nice day to start getting some coats of paint on it. The plan is still to try and have it ready for the next meeting at the end of august. With bits now removed from the old bike there's no going back really.








Yesterday i finished this dashboard/surround and switch thing for the Nitrous controller. It doesn't need it of course but a good example of waterjet cutting put to good effect once again! It took me maybe an hour to design that file and http://k-cut.co.uk/ probably 1 minute 48 seconds to cut it.







Top fairing is Ducati 848/1098 but modified a bit.
I also fiberglassed a tiny part of the sidepanels to it as it didn't look right otherwise. I just bought some scratched panels off eBay and sawed the scratched bit off.
