Do you really think I am that daft..... (No answer required..)

The bottom of the tangs are rounded so I make sure that the the finish is the same as original. Although the file in the picture it is to give it relative content as to what I am actually doing.....

Makes good sense as leaving a sharp corner at the bottom of the clutch basket tangs could lead to stress fractures occurring :D which is probably why it was designed that way.

Nice one Steve, I don't know where you find the time! Looks good and the headlight suits the bike too..

Is this your Pyrenees mount?
