Progress update

I have the DBL2 installed and a decent first paintjob.

I'm sorting out the windscreen to close up the front still, so drag reduction is minimal right now with a lot of air just flowing inside.

The Dzus fasteners are pretty handy but the mounts on the structure underneath are provisional and I'm working out how to fasten everything perfectly.

My windscreen's aerodynamic tuning is no longer suitable: since the nose is doing a lot of work on the air, the windscreen is now pushing too much air and resulting in a vortex that strikes me in the back a bit. It's possible I'll have to downgrade the windscreen to get the right effect.

On the other hand, everyone likes the look so far! I'll be augmenting the single blue stripe appearance with a vertical stripe up and around the opening so it has an "arrow" side profile.
