Frame/Structures:
Tabs were welded on the frame in several locations to mount the fairing.  The frame is ready to be painted. 

Fairing:
The nose cone for the fairing turned out well.  The cured fiberglass is strong and lightweight.  It needed to be stiffened, so ribbing was added to the inside and fiberglassed in place. 

The rear tail section was mostly completed.  Sam designed the tail section and laid it out on Coroplast.  The part was then cut and bent to shape, resulting in a symmetric tail section with only one seam along the bottom. 

Drive Train:
No changes.

Controls:
A part was added to the steering to link the two tie rod attachment points on the handlebar.  This was in the original design, but was removed last week due to the change in steering angle.
