Option 1 looks that bit sleeker (sleeker = better) in silhouette. Can't see in third dimension.

Moto 63 has a good eye for that kind o thing.

He's gonna get the other eye sorted sometime soon. Ho ho ho.

You could always hack the lot off and go naked bratty. No? Ok then.  ;)

Seat and fairing look better on the first pic. Is that a fairing off the 250?.
Prefer the twin shock though!

Yep the fairing is of a 250. The suspension has been a lot more work than I expected, worse comes to worse I have another frame so I can go back to twinshock if it doesnt work out.

Aye Steve,

Here's tay you for 2015.

Image 1 probably for "LOOKS"  ::) and Image 2 for being able to throw the 'Swagmans' over the seat  ??? "Philistine"! I know.

Not sure about the mono, but those wheels appear very nice.

Tickling a Morini 125 at present!  ;)

My regards, Bill.

The first one of course. You'll need to cut and weld back frame for this monoseat, will you ?

I've been looking at both pics all week, unable to choose. But I reckon no1 just has it by a knats whisker.

Hi Steve , for what it,s worth in my vho I would defo go for number 1, I would also pull fairing slightly further back and downwards but eh this is your bike so just follow your first instinct with it, I usually do and it usually pans out pretty much ok. Either way  Best of luck and keep us posted. Regards Michael

Option 1 it is then.

As the fairing is from a 250 its is quite snug around the forks and the clocks only just clear the screen, so I have limited room for moving it around. The final positioning will probably be more like that in Option2.
