I am considering a professional spray job for the glass fibre panels and carbon fibre skinning the ally doors and bonnet. Does anyone have any experiences of carbon fibre skinning, or could advise whether it would be worth the investment?

Thanks

Hey Tim
Its good news you have got your Sportster back after so long!

How do you plan to by pass the EWS, I thought this had been the fundamental problem all along?

From my reading, it appears the exhaust Vanos does nothing for the power or running of the engine, it just helps with emmissions. Therefore it would be possible to run an M52 non TU set up, by adopting its engine loom.
