A bit more done to the bike. I am now going to address the frame. I really should have done this at the beginning, but better late than never. Firstly the steering head. This has a flange right down the front complete with a lump that you are supposed to put a supplied screw through. As per the outlined part in this photo.

A session with a razor saw and sanding sticks, followed by a good blather of TET gave me this.

This will be hidden when the front no plate/cowling is on, so I could have left it, but I would know it was wrong. I found out something that I had temporarily forgotten. TET will not touch the plastic this kit is made from. When I tried to slide the steering stem up inside the head the front seam that I had just worked on split apart. Back once more to relying on CA. The next job I tackled was the small fillets in the frame to hold the upper retaining bolts for this new style oil tank. These were completely absent on the model. Some plastic card and CA and I had this.

Small but necessary. The indistinct blob in the centre is a 0.8 mm bolt head. This needs tidying up and painting. Then it might look an integral part of the frame.
That is it for now. As usual all comments, good, bad or indifferent gratefully received.
