Yeah that looks pretty good mate... do you have to do the rear arches as well?
Could look a bit weird with rounded fronts and square rears ;)

well as i have to cut more out of the inner arch's i started to make a new battrey tray as the standard one is too big and will need moving.

i cahanged the design abit,i ended up useing one bolt each side not two as i think it looks better plus there is no need for two m8 bolts each side to hole the battrey in.

15 stone. Pah! You light weight! Get a good meal down you.

Looking good though. Couldn't you do the front arches in the same sort of shape again, just higher up?
There's three ways of doing things:

The right way,
The wrong way
And my way, which is like the wrong way but faster.

i could and that would sort the top tube but not the rear tube plus it will make it look higher :bawling:
