Yeah, looks great. And the top deflector is a neat idea also. Looks removable. Is it?

Rob , thanks for the compliment. I found I needed a wind deflector at the top of the winshield because air was spilling over the top and directly into my eyes and face. Very annoying at freeway speeds, so annoying that at times I'd try to scrunch my 6'6"frame down to get out of the wind. :ack: When I was making the template for the windshield I was contemplating making it 2" taller but I didn't like how it looked.

Yes, locost7018, the top deflector is removable. Thanks again, Jim Larfield

Looks like you have two "socks" on either side of the brake reservoir ???

Very nice build.

I like the lowered battery mount design.

Looks like the tires are ES-100s, How do you like them?
I'm thinking of up-grading my tires. Dave W

Rpb, I like to refer to the "socks" as diapers. They are hiding the other two master cylinders (one for the rear brakes the other for the clutch). I have a brake balance bar setup. I put the "diapers" on when I couldn't find where brake fluid was leaking from after checking fittings, lines and the back of the cylinders. Came to the conclusion it was coming from either the vent hole in the cap or the cap seal. When I went to the track I noticed a fair amount of race cars seem to have some sort of "diaper" wrapped around their master cylinders.

Dave, yes they are ES-100s. I really have no basis for comparison with any other tire since these are the only tires I have had on the car. They seem to work well for the street. I have yet to autox or do a track day- next year.

Thanks for the reply, I'm just looking for street use, My selection is limited with 14" wheels.

Thanx Dave W
