I got the un-needed fairing mount brackets cut off the replacement fuel tank and then stripped to bare metal on the areas where the filler will go,

just a quick tip for any that don't know, when you are going to paint over existing automotive paint that has had polish and wax's applied, wipe the surface with a panel wipe or some brake cleaner 'before' you start to rub down, otherwise you will force any residue of wax further into the surface which could give you endless troubles with paint finish,

I am leaving most of the original factory paint on as it is a good base to work on, but I have done as above in my tip,

rain came in again so I stopped short of starting to fill as any dampness in the air can easily settle on the surface of the metal, this would mean that it gets sealed in when you start to fill or paint giving the possibility of future problems, I will wait for a drier day to carry on
