Lots of pics - sorry :roll:
Apart from a few little tweaks and maybe some minor additions in the future I think that's it for the 'Dome. Many huge thanks to all who supplied parts and assistance along the way. It's been a steep learning curve, especially since i've been away from bikes for so long ! Also some cock -ups occurred which i'll keep to myself for now
Cheers, Steve.
