bottom fairing



Bottom fairing cut across and shunted forward picture on the right. Looked at it again thought it could go further forward. So Now the picture on the left has it in its final position a good 10 inches from its original position. Put three flat allen bolts to secure it. Next step will be to out some kind of flat rubber seal where the rear part slides over. For racing it has to seal to capture oil. The rules says it needs a 25mm sealable hole/drain plug for if it rains during racing. I wonder if my removable lip can qualify as a sort of drain because it can be unbolted as it does have a 50mm lip required by the rules. Just to finish off i made a aluminum bracket to suport the fairing side. Now the whole fairing is basically complete.
While I was at work I had some spare time so made a new housing for the temp gauge and found a spare lug to fit it. using Corel draw and a laser cutter I cut out a new surround for the temp gauge..picture later....now its time for the next step.
