Chaps. Quick update as very short on time. On the right, exhaust system fitted and is a perfect fit, unlike the one on my FLH.  Then, on the left, ignition leads, horn, brake caliper all get fitted along with the front fender and some of the many hoses.  Then back on the right, fuel injection, air cleaner and lastly, exhaust shrouds fitted.  Sorry it's lacking chit chat but time is tight. ACW |

It may be lacking of chit chat, but surely quality isn't missing at all. Wow, what a build and what a result  |

Thanks chaps, the end is in sight now which is a great shame as I haven't had this much modeling enjoyment in many months.
Back soon...

The good stuff never lasts long enough Mence.  This kit is unreal, and you are doing a superb job doing it justice The silver does look great. You know something? I like it better with out the exhaust shrouds  |

Chaps, as always, my thanks for your kind words. Jeff, I'm with you, she looks better with the chrome on view, fortunately the shrouds are held in place by a couple of tiny squares of double sided tape so I might take them off. Ok, very small update. Rear end pretty much sorted. Fender rails and fender bolted on with eight socket head bolts, rear light unit and flashers assembled and bolted into place as is the licence plate mount and three reflectors. You get four or five licence plate options, enough to keep all but the very choosy happy.  That's it for now, thank you. |

Great looking back, Mence (I hope Jeff won't read this) And just what is THAT supposed to mean Lu?  You can rest assured I will not be making any comments about Prof's back. But while I' m here I will say that rear tire and fender area of this build is looking stellar. |

Chaps. Jeff, thank you, almost there now.  Before that, handlebars. Neat little sub assemblies that have a poly cap type thing sandwiched inside so they slip onto the bars and don't move about....aaah. Mirror faces are kit supplied foil stickers which look spot on.  Then on to the fuel tank. Bolted on the instrument housing and attached the soft vinyl trim, filler caps and fuel tap. The tank badges I love, molded with the emblem etc. so you simply lay over the two colour decal and where needed, the alloy colour shows through, superb.  Right, that's it for now, busy weekend so will post as soon as poss. |

Your finish on the tin is nothing short of amazing. If I ever get my Fat Boy Lo repainted, do you do commission jobs?
