One disc and the bleeder will be fine, even if you didn't have a bleeder valve you can still bled the system out by cracking the banjo bolt , plus I have a vacuum bleeder setup , long story short this is not my first rodeo .
I am not going to lie , it took about three tries to get the holes drilled properly using the first plate and a set of calipers I finally got it , this time I worked a little smarter, I drilled the three holes first then when I got all the holes all lined up I cut out the bracket, the result is...
I had a leftover caliper from a 660 Rhino project that I worked on last year , it is brand new , I decided to see if I could make it work on here.
After looking at pretty much every CB200T hydraulic brake conversion I could find on the internet I realized two things, on every thread either...
Exhaust clamps are in , the air filters also but I sent the air filters to the wrong address so I have to make a run to pick them up.
The clamps work well on the muffler side but won't quite clamp down on the header pipe so I may have to beer can shim it or cut a slot in the tube and beer can...
I got the tabs welded onto the battery box and I started painting it with Rust oleum peel coat, basically plastidip, I picked up about 20 cans at Walmart a few years back for $1.50 a can. I figured the plastidip will gave the box at least some insulation just in case Murphy strikes.
Anyway this...
I have one sidecover polished up , I still needs just a bit but it's looking good , The guy that had this must have been a bodyman because he painted everything including the top triple tree clamp and handlebar risers, I have remedied that situation.
I think that the brushed finish turned...

Seat base is drilled and tapped, the sidecovers are mounted to it with six button head allen stainless steel screws.
I am going to have to cut the wood down on the seat base just a bit to get it to slide forward, no biggie.
Thanks I am trying to get the main fab work done before I have to start doing actual work again. I just got released by the ortho Dr from my hip replacement Wednesday.
So after thinking about the bending brake I decided to just redneck bend it , I would have had to load the bike up and haul it...
Aluminum is in for the side-covers so I made a set of side-covers , I do still have to do some filing and fitting , then sanding and polishing but you get the general idea , I also need to borrow my friends sheet metal brake and bend the side-covers out slightly at the bottom , I did get the...
Ok here is the part where it's better to be lucky than good . on the stock muffler brackets the rear bolt hole not only lines up it put the muffler in the correct position . so what I am going to do is lop off the other mounting tab in the front of the bracket , then cut the bracket and weld...
I don't know that it matters anything is better than the rusty crusty stock exhaust system that came with this bike.
I also found these on Amazon if the other clamps don't work these should , the connector piece comes in at around 38 mm OD which is 1.496 in inches...
