Your wish is my command... pulleys_mocked_up.jpg pulleys_mocked_up2.jpg Now for the fairing pics: inside_bodywork.jpg peeking_through_side.jpg peeking_through_side2.jpg As you can see, there's not a whole lot of room for the belt or pulleys, but most of it can be fixed by spacing out the fairing & massaging certain parts. It's hard to tell from the pictures, but the belt and pulleys are right up against the plastic. Some sections will have to go under the knife (aka dremel). new_gauge_mockup.jpg I just wanted to figure out where I want the gauges. I'm liking this position from both an aesthetic & turning clearance point of view. lookin_through_front.jpg lookin_through_front2.jpg The view from up front. Plenty of cold air coming through there, plus the radiator hoses clear both the filter and the blower. I'll mount the oil cooler just below the blower, though I'm still not sure whether to reuse the old one or get a new one.

Hey Seb, you mean like this? :salesman: Drag_vfr.jpg

Yes folks, the pulleys are done! Things should start moving faster now... Here they are as blanks: pulley_blanks.jpg They then were popped into the shaper and both the internal & external splines were cut: pulley_shaper_cut.jpg The completed parts. pulleys_cut.jpg I should be able to finalize the bracketry now and get the radiator fitted. Plus, I'll be able to figure out exactly where the bodywork needs to be trimmed/clearanced/heated & bent into shape to fit the drive assembly behind the plastic. As for the pulleys themselves, once I'm done with the test-fitting, they will be sent down to get hard anodized and the flanges will be installed.
