    Can't wait to see the finished result ! Putting the infills in the post Monday, as said one is broken but with some araldite and a bit of ingenuity it should be fixable :)

    I may have a duke but that's just road candy, not a HRC (will always have its thorough bred history) track bike with a fully fledged racer in control (well holding on ;) )

    I'm jealous because if I had a track bike it would be a blade !

    Big big milestone reached today. All the fairings have been prepped and sprayed...

    After much debate at the spray shop, for the desired finish and quality of track fairings, dad convinced me some quality rattle cans, primer and elbow grease would be more than enough to get a decent finish.

    More than pleased with the result, not perfect, but for a 1st coat (can flatten some bits off and touch up) I think they look excellent.

    Not bad for £80 and DIY spray job ;)

    Once again, Dave was there to lend a helping hand.

    I've gone stealth - Matt black....

    Must admit pappa Jimbo was right, they have come out well and saved loads of cash.

    Best bit was we both had no cash on us and scammed him for the beers too!

    As you can guess I'm well chuffed with it... It's marking too easy but once some more stickers get on it, touch up and Matt lacquer (I've been told it exists) it should scrub up nice ;)
