Thanks for the encouragement guys. Here's a few more pics. First one shows the sanctuary passenger pegs. I've also posted a few of the stiffening. This is a PMC kit but modified by Harris as the Z900 frame is a little different to a Z1 frame. Note the little Harris battery box for a Super B lithium battery.

Love how this is turning out, brilliant.
Do you get a kick out of working with Harris? Must be a very interesting place to work.
