A little light just went on: those fuel tanks cannot be on the frame, for there's no room left on the frame. Interesting...

Last night my light went off. I glued a the water filler in front of one of the cab fixing screws. :headbang:

Not the best picture, but this is the steering mechanism.
Ce n'est pas la meilleure photo, mais c'est le mécanisme de direction.
All four wheels do steer.

A little CAD was used to start on the top of the fairing.

Lastly, as I couldn’t get the required strength on the angle on the upper part on the fairing, the old trick of supper glue and bicarbonate of soda was used.

You don’t get wiser as you get older. You just run out of stupid things to do.
