CBR1000RR Fairings finally mounted

I had grand plans for some clever aluminium tube mounts for the upper fairings, which i spent all day Saturday making, only to discover they wouldn't really work, very frustrating.  I only finally admitted defeat when one came loose in the lathe and destroyed itself (I put it in the lathe too soon after welding it up and as it cooled it came loose).

I stopped messing about and went back to bending/drilling bits of steel strip and i'm pretty happy with the overall fit/position.

I was also able to cut up  and re-use the old front fairing bracket/clock mount.  This has saved me so much time, describing myself as pleased with the outcome would be a massive understatement.
