Hope you are not going to use that welder to weld your shock mount?

It is not decided yet, but most likely I will fit the shock mount in the kink as well and then later in the thicker main frame, this would reinforce it considerably. I have found Cold drawn tubing in 25x2 and 25x1.5mm now

Unfortunately I dont have the dimensions, but here I have sketched the general idea, I will skrap the entire stock subframe and replace it with the red parts :) There will also be a significant reinforcement in the mid part just behind the main part of the fram where the top mount for the mono...

Was thinking about subframe materials, I am going for 1", 25mm tubing, but what wall thickness using "regular" black steel should I go for?, 1.5 or 2mm? Also considering Chromoly but I have heard that it is hard to weld as the material requires pre and post treatment to avoid cracking.

Some progress. Spent some time stripping the bike from the wiring harness and all the cables, havnt decided if I am going to keep and modify the stock harness or build a new one. screen capture windows 7 After a good grinding I managed to fit the tank over the much bulkier top frame tube...

I ran away from the caferacer.net forums to avoid the likes of you, please! let the dude build what he wants the way he wants to!!

I have done several projects in my Life this far, I have done everything from race cars to big wheel drift trikes :) So the interest has turned to bikes, wanted a 70.s CB750 but couldnt find anything that I liked, then I found and got a killer deal on a decent 2002 Sevenfifty, sure it is not...

I solved it, using a pipe cutter I cut the top off then fitted an aluminum spacer and a washer towards the stop spring, then I rewelded the shock assy. Now I just have to fix the other one, should be easy as pie now that I know how it works. image upload no limit Fork is now lowered 50mm.s

And so the first hurdle, I need to open the piston assembly to be able to fit a spacer, but that wasnt as easy as I thought. I am afraid that this is a one piece unit, pressed in both ends. Does anyone have an idea on how to open it? End facing the bottom of the shock, threaded hole is where...

Finally got the forks and yes they are way too long, seems like I need to lower them 40-50mm.s image url upload Removed the cartridge on the lunchbreak today, doesnt seem too impossible to figure out how to lower it :) Will disassemble the cartridge soon to see how I am going to solve this...

Re: Fork "axle holder" removable? Did some reading and it looks lika a cartridge type USD shock is easy enough to lower, basicly by adding a spacer to the spring and shortening the preload spacer/adjuster. Also just realized that the 750mm stock forks I measured was under load, with the bike...

Re: Fork "axle holder" removable? Should have got them this friday but due to the heavy snowing they got delayed so I havnt been able to measure the length. The stock CB750 forks are 750mm.s från the top to the wheel centre and I want to go a bit lower with my cafe, I guess there is some...

Working on a Cafe Project and came across some cheap parts from a wrecked Hypermotard 1100, I have salvaged the mono rear swing with wheel and there is no problems there, but I am concerned about the front Hypermotard forks being too long for my Honda Sevenfifty (Nighthawk) As I already have...
