Its some kind of purposeful material, 1 cm thick, spray glue the layers together and very easily carvable with high grit sand paper. Upholstery is done by local car interior guys, quick and easy job for them.

Only a few shitty ones really.

A few more from the weekend. Sander.

Re: Sandrew's CB900 'phantom' Still on pictures? Yea, I know, haven't really got around to it yet. There's an cafe/fighter event happening this weekend, hopefully get some good shots there. I spent a couple of evenings fabing up a rack for my longboard, tho. Sander.

Re: Sandrew's CB900 'phantom' Woa, I forgot about this thread.. again. Anyway the bike has been sort of ready for a month now. Just need to figure out a mirror for right side and maybe add horn. Here's a bit about my May's work. Speedo mounted, tach cable was perfect length for this location...

Re: Sandrew's CB900 'phantom' Things really slowed down in March, I only got about 3 - 4 days garage time. Now about a few weeks ago I moved the bike to my current town, where I'm able to tweak it constantly. So here's the progress from the first engine start til today. Mounted all the...

Re: Sandrew's CB900 'phantom' It has been a while.. again, although I haven't been sitting around. Both of the calipers had their pistons missing and rather than getting them for 76 euro per piece I went into local automotive store and found a pair with the correct diameter for 22 euros -...

Re: Sandrew's CB900 'phantom' Hopefully Cognito's design is not patented. :P

Re: Sandrew's CB900 'phantom' Lots of shiid in the works at the same time, so nothing to show for that's completely done. All set up for pipe routing: Everything sorted out: The engine on the CB sits a lot closer to the ground than the one on the bike which the exhaust came from, so the...

Re: Sandrew's CB900 'phantom' Got the foam and glue for the seat. And ready for upholstery. Second round powder coating back, as well. Frame and swinger gloss black, other bits textured and the tank clear coated. I don't really dig the look of the tank anymore, maybe try to sand it down a...

Re: Sandrew's CB900 'phantom' A little one for today. Put on a layer of paint to see the lines and lower spots, no filler just yet. Then laminated the seat pan and cut it in shape. Also drilled the mains to 130 on carbs, it's the starting point at least, hopefully can work it out from...

Re: Sandrew's CB900 'phantom' Got some bits sandblasted today: About those frame mods. I cut the subframe rails as short as needed, solved the under the swingarm battery a bit better and removed some more tabs on triangle section.Steering lock welded shut, new steering stopper (old ones were...

Re: Sandrew's CB900 'phantom' The forks were obviously too long and soft, even the seal stopper rings had rusted away, it was time to tweak those. 75 mm spacers for damper rods (oil channels drilled and secured in place with M3 headless allens(, new seals and stoppers as well: Springs cut...

Re: Sandrew's CB900 'phantom' I got the carbs. Much reccomended Mikuni BST's from GSXR, 38mm. In bad condition, full of sand and moving parts all pretty much stuck. Then some ultrasonic clean and other stuff: At least everything is moving now, we'll see if they're any good once I get...
