I don't have details sorry, but it looks good, especially the painted hubs

Nah! The 'poop scoop' on the front looks naff, mudguarding won't and the oil cooler on the side is just 'wrong'! Sorry, no the lines of Sally! :-*

Toodle pip, Bill.

True, but he has resolved the issue of the ugly sidepanel lug that is visible when no panels are fitted. He's trimmed the tank flange and (possibly) added some steel to fill a gap.

I agree that bits of it are tarty, but overall it's a good effort.
