Well,ive been messing around with a FJ1200 belly pan,but it just doesnt want to fit nicely. Now ive got XJ600,GPX750R & ZXR750 belly pans to play with...its looking like the GPX one could be the one. . . watch this space

Yup...its the GPX thats going on... Gotta trim a bit here & there for clearance around the engine covers at each end & make a bit of heat shielding for the exhaust under the engine & some brackets & thats it. Should have the trimming & shaping finished in the next day or two & ready for painting & fitting by the weekend...fingers crossed...! Pic to follow (if my mate Grem will add it to this thread for me...)...

Its a bugger to get those stickers off too...ive been at it an hour & i havnt got one side off yet. Ive shaped it so that it fits around the engine covers and it moves it back a bit so it fits nice & snuggly. It'll be nice when its done... I rekon that by the time its finished it wikk have cost at least, £20...

Yeah...got it sprayed. I did it in Ford Orion Green Metallic-as good a match for 1100R green as ive ever seen. Gotta do the stripes tomorrow...Ford Ivory White & Nissan Supersonic Blue... Aerosols from the bargain box for 99p! Im trying to do this bellypan for not more than £20 all in...trying to prove a point to myself & have a bellypan how i want it & not one of the ill fitting mass produced ones. I think it'll look good. Will take a pic when its done

Looking good. That's a nice neat fit without looking too big and bulky like some I've seen. Shame you got the stripes the wrong way up though. :mut: :mut:

Theres a reason for that! I couldnt get a paint colour that was a good match for the purplish blue stripe,so i did it on the bottom,so the bad colour match wouldnt be so obvious...
