Tbh it’s the worst part of the kit and as you say for a kit of this price that’s pretty bad, I will show how the kits part goes together and show how different it looks with the upgrade when I get it.
I was thinking this is getting very heavy and the exhaust is getting loose from the weight of it so I’ve temporarily added the forks to get the weight off the exhaust. I’ve finally finished the handle bars (well apart from the wiring)

wow that looks good, a kit with this price tag you should not have to buy upgrade parts, the ones you have put on are far better than the kit parts, doing a brilliant job looking forward to seeing more

Hi all this is how Pocher would have you build the rad
Of course I could just fill the holes and weather it and it would be a whole lot better
But with Ron Clark’s PE it will be a whole league better I just can’t wait for them to get here.

having just built the 1/6th Honda Africa twin i can imagine the size of this duke i would imagine also it is starting to get a bit heavy, you doing a great job that radiator looks a lot better with the after market photo etch parts,

I've been away for a week so have had to do a bit of catching up on this build. Wow, this is really shaping up very well, KP and is nicely enhanced by the extra work that you are putting into it. IMHO a degree of cable work is essential on model motorcycles as without they just don't look right - a bit like biplanes that feature rigging being built as models without - I don't think it's always essential to replicate every cable, especially on small scale models, but enough should be done to make the model look busy enough - just my opinion of course!
