Thanx for the support!
Some things got done today. Everything I did worked out perfectly
Dont you have a feeling sometimes that even if you try really hard to make something it doesnt work out they way you planned. It works out still but later and better than you saw on that moment or even could imagine.
For me the moment was when I twisted my head to figure out how to mount the speedo. I took a piece of aluminium yesterday and messed with it about an hour to create a bracket...and failed.
So today I started again to look for something that could be converted into bracket and then... I had a vision. Here it is. The metal pieces I used are perfect in every way - like I had paid $$$ for them.
Actually they are a part of pocket bike foot pegs

Made a bracket also for exhaust. Needs paint and decent bolts but at the moment works well for me to test it.
The angle of the cans on the pictures is also too low - in final setup they will point more upwards.
I also see if I can make the bracket a bit shorter.

Won't that logo get covered by your leg in the riding position?
I'm not 100% what you mean by low light conditions, as in it's gonna be a reflector, or back lit or what?

I ment that it was too dark in the garage when I took those pictures and thats the reason they are so blurry.
As for the logo - the rear panel needs I think at least 2 layers of glassfiber more - I just put the logo there to try it out. I have to finish the panels first - this weekend - to see how they look and if that S can be used there.

Few things still missing from my bike but not too much
Battery and speedometer.
From my side - some gear - gloves, boots, pants and some minor complications as not having license to ride yet etc.
At the moment Im capable of putting myself on the bike and taking some photos that are motivating me through the winter
It has a name now - meet GHOST
sry - have no better things to do than virtual tuning
