    Had a first attempt at fitting my track fairings today!

    Need to drill a few holes and tidy some excess fiberglass up but looks pretty good imo, not gonna fit all the bits I’ve got tho as they not really needed and they are fiddly bits to fit!

    Have you checked wheel alignment?

    should be spot on, have measured the distance the rear spindle is on each side with a tape measure rather than relying on the marks, Its annoying coz it was spot on before I got the tyres fitted, must say tho, I did have an absolute mare fitting both wheels both times! Its such a stupid design to do the rear, and the front was a pain coz I needed to move the bars while the front wheel was removed.

    Am hoping a test ride tomoz over to Box Hill will show that its all sorted now :)

    It all seems sorted now, don’t know if it was me assembling them wrong or the wheels being off balance but it all seems sorted now! :)
