Looks good for me. Maybe a little liiiiiiittle higher in case of rubbing.

Another nice job well done.

The underside of the engine bay looks really well now.

This is amazing! I love the pin stripe too, I wonder was that an option in UK too?

Keep up the good work!

Yes very happy with it. When ride on normal roads I set the stiffnes on 5 clicks from the softest setting so Its not that hard at all. They advice to put a strut brace at the rear so I going to make a triangled strut brace to give more strength to the rear bodywork.
