Love this! I think you're right about the headlights - just needs a neat little trim made up to neaten up the edge of the headlights - i'm sure Twins could knock something up...

fotted my tanks today, well happy with the way they came out the place only charged me 50 quid to do the header tank, breather tank, power steering tank, swirl pot and rear strut brace, thought that was pretty reasonable?
fitted the exhaust up
fitted everything on and fired the beast up fired up first time just got to reset the t,p,s on the secs moniter it says the throttle is 100% on idle? then when i press it down counts down then goes to 90% anyone know how i do it? well happy that it started though
