did a bit more today all welded up now ,did a bit of filling whilst dodgeing the rain just needs a bit more filling and shapeing and then ready for a bit of paint
also cut a bit of rot out of the door and welded a plate in there but im sure you dont wanna see that,i think it deffinatley needs the square lights and grill
i thought of some universal ones ive seen on ebay for streetfighter bikes but i dont wanna go too far with the customizing

Needs a plain or de-badged grill to finish it. :D

Incidentally, how did you fasten whole panel it to front wings?
