Got some done over the weekend....
Front brakes rebuilt and mounted.
I'm liking the overall look.....like an old Brit TLS system I reckon. I'm pleased I bought a job lot of braided lines as I had to chop n change until I got them to fit/route neatly (longer than I first thought) and allow for suspension movement. Sussing out the splitter mount took time, but was able to re-use the stock Honda bracket in the end. Still need new bleed nipples to complete as well as P clips to hold them in place.
This is a cheeky mock up of the speedo....need to make a bracket yet and will use stock rubber mounts.
Slowly swapping out stock bolts for stainless where possible....takes so much time, but I'm happy with the way it changes the look.
I've cleaned up the fuse cover and removed the 'FUSE' and 'ignition' marks, a few more coats to go, and this is where I'll mount the idiot lights as the fuse box will be relocated under the seat. Wrapped the stock loom with cloth tape for the old school look, much better than shiny plastic.
Had to drop the forks out to fit the cast alloy satin black headlight mounts, but think they suit the style, final position tbc.
Still need to fabricate the front guard mounts and chop it down to size, I'm keeping it practical so maybe just level with the spindle and the leading edge where it is now to keep the balance....too short looks a bit silly.
The chain will be the last component I fit....kinda like a topping out ceremony haha!
Thanks for checking in, feel free to add your tuppence worth.
Oh yeah, and for shits n giggles....we ran a few tunnels in London, Saturday midnight
