I did rush mine. but it only needs a lick of paint and some edging and its done... tbh its not hard at all.. the only hard part is cutting the metal that likes cutting your hands up!!! :lol: :lol:

Thanks Everyone for the nice comments 8-)

Is it held on with cable ties? ;) :P

Well done Matt but...sorry..... I would have relocated the horn lower down for a cleaner look and didn't interupt the plate. There are plenty of mounting holes behind there. 8-)

Simple answer... i should of!! but hey.. i like to do things the hardway... and Rich you know that ;) :lol:

ps this was a test as thought it wouldn't work.. so might redo another time but with thicker metal.. as only used thin steel.

Good work on the mod 8-)

Could be a dunce question but how does the plate help with the cooling? Does it help with airflow over the engine?

It's supposed to force air through the radiator, instead of flowing over it :)
