Got to say I’m a fan of the black,  I’m kinda old fashioned that way, I like it to flow

Trust me I like seeing my name in print, but the proper spelling of the paint your looking for is “matte”.

Both spellings are OK. The trailing 'e' seems to be more common in American English.

I'm definitely tending towards black at the moment - it does look better. I just have a few too many black motorcycles around...

It's just a standard universal fairing. Got it here, but they're all over the web: www.kickstartershop.de/de/cafe-racer-ver...d-klarer-bubble-nose

Cleaning up the garage today. Put the side stand on so I could move the bike around. Had to take the fairing off as it wasn't attached properly. I quite like the naked look - another thing to go back and forth on... buggar :(

There is a lot of "top shelf" components in there to show off. You could have it painted with everything else and then you can " chop and change" to suit your mood if you mount in a way that works with both configurations

Good idea, unfortunately I got a reply from the MOT guy and that's a no-go here in Germany. The fairing needs to go in the reg. papers and then needs to stay mounted if I want to stay legal... a bit mental but them's the breaks...

Started work on the wiring. Most of it's pretty straight forward but I'm starting to run out of room under the seat...

It’s not the biggest space to squeeze it all in
