I would, I am just not as diligant as some at documenting everything. I wish I was, I just usually get in the garage get into it and never consider stopping to take pictures and such. I might have enough though to at least make a quick thread profiling what I have done.
As far as the fairing, I may make something like it but $1200 wouldn't go well with this bike. "Project 185" means 2 different things: 1, Obviously the cc of the bike and 2. The budget, and so far I have about $10 to go till I'm at budget, this includes the purchase price of the bike. I'm cheap
