Looking good fletch, wont be long now!
Iv got my donor engine out tonight and boxed up a screen
Now to fit the engine and send the screen!
Ill put some pics up on my thread when i get the engine in, and iv noticed on mine that the rad is front mounted? So it looks like its been built differently to yours fletch but the rad seems to fit here quite well
Also fletch, i dont suppose you have tried that speedo for calibration have you! Its just i have the same speedo in my tzr clock set and if it runs fairly accurately then ill just use the whole clockset on my build rather than trying to get my ysr speedo into the tzr unit! Laughing

Glad to see the progress
Keep it coming!

Thanx for the encouragement guys Very Happy

Thanx for sorting the screen Paul Very Happy

I'll look out for the postie Laughing

Good to hear that you can get on with your YSR now, i look forward to seeing some pics Very Happy

I don't know how accurate the speedo is as this is the set up which came with it, I can only presume that it works quite well as this is how it was used before Confused

Give me a couple more weeks and i will be able to tell you first hand!!! Laughing

Made a little more progress today, fitted all the bodywork and drilled all the bolt holes in the fairings, also made the vent in the left side bigger to allow more air into the radiator

Think it looks ok
Just got to pull the stickers off the tail unit then i can send all the bodywork off to be painted, not long to go now!! Very Happy

@Paul, on the recommendation of Shaun Loveday, I am using a polish guy called Vik, from Kings Lynn, to do my painting.He is in a unit behind where HRG used to be,now enterprise car hire.He is good and very reasonable too, only charged £240 to paint all my Gag bodywork, he is now going to paint my SDR bodykit for about £150 Very Happy

Thanks, yes heard about him already, has a good reputation too, but not seen any of his work, good prices too as I take it it's not done as a 'home job', is it 2K paint do you know.

Don't know what paint he's using but should think its 2K
You're more than welcome to come look at the work he's done for me, he's painted my YammaGamma top fairing&mudguard as well as my Gag stuff
