I feel compelled to say, well done and congrats...

You've done a good job of following some of the Manx's classic lines, whilst making it all look more fluid and individual.

I was unsure about the durability of the tilt front at first, but on second thought, I reckon it will prove to be quite a good bit of engineering in actual hard use. It allows the whole body more give and flexability.

Time to take it down the sand pit and thrash the living shit out of it for a while... Then let us all know how she held up.

You've got a good eye. Unfortunately they didn't get installed in time for the photo shoot.

Besides, it's the sunshine state :)
