Thanx guys,

Yeah...that idea actually came from me, wanted to get away from that hideous breather cover.
But it didn´t come cheap summing up the cost of the machines...so please dont tell my wife :whistle:

Small update:

Made a template for rearset brackets and got them laser cut at work.
Then turned and milled some bits and pieces to get the frame ready for paint.
