It works - if one wants to show something in design, it pays of to hide it. The engine looks more massive behind the side covers. The aluminum I got was stiffer than I thought - but I got the edges quite equal on both sides. The curve of the plates follows the tank, and opens up at the front of the frame. I will need three fixing points to hold everything in place. I´m dangerously close to design custom nuts and locking pins for the panels. Can hear my self cursing my own design in a future roadside brakedown..:)
The basic shape of the panels is done, and I cant do anything more before the supports and fittings are in place. After that I can start working - getting all gaps and distances correct.
