Well what a nightmare......I finally got them out, there wasn't enough of a lip on the RH bearing with the sleeve to have a good go so I ended up having to pull the bearing apart by dremaling the centre and splitting then they just tapped out. thanks for the advice. Cheers

Thanks for the replies, there's no retaining clips that I can see. I've had a quick go at heating with no luck so I might have to take it to work and use the press. I've attached pics of both sides the thing that is making it harder is the full length sleeve so you can't get a punch from the...

G'day, Well it's been a while nearly 5 yrs to be exact since I first started my Cafe project and have started the ball rolling again in the last month. I can now see the light at the end of the tunnel and are getting excited...LOL. Only a few small things to finish off and concentrated on the...

Okay Do the Tonners, I need to replace the rear wheel bearings on a "Comstar" rim, the manual states to use a drift well tried that with NO luck. I've even sprayed on WD40 and let soak overnight still no luck. Is there any tricks, given that they are the originals so have been in there for a...

I was told to apply decals then multiple coats of clear then cut and buff. Just remember to take the protective sticker of the decals first before clearing I learnt the hard way >:(. But managed to save the decals and paint.

This is my attempt, first couple of coats of clear a few more before a cut back and buff. Cheers

As the topic says does anyone know the size of the piston? I'm in the process of restoration and my master cylinder is seized and full of gunk so I haven't managed to be able to get the piston out to measure it. Cheers Noz

Yeah mate I've got one, the CB250N has a single disc

Thanks biker for life, I think I'll clear over the top. Cheers

Hi there from down under, I'm in the final stages of finishing my tank and have a question regarding Stickers & Pin Striping. Should I "Clear" over them or just stick them on after the clear? Cheers

I might give it a shot as this really caught my eye when walking past. I hung around like a fly on a turd waiting to see if I could speak to the owner but no one showed up. Also aesthetically it looks the goods. Cheers

I saw this CB250 Bobber at a local show late last year which gave me the kick in the bum needed to get stuck back into finishing off my CB250. Would what he's done with the longer intake have the same effect as the "sleeves" even though he's still used the pods? Cheers NOZ

Hey chicano, the images have been archived because the thread is so old. This is where its at now albeit the tank is stripped ready for primer. Cheers Noz

It's been a while well over 4 years since the last post and any work on the bike. A lot of water has gone under the bridge and life changes which now allow me to continue with the build. On the weekend I decided to see if she would start and bloody hell she started first press of the button...

The plans are to paint & ride...LOL. Leaving the side covers off. RE: Rear Sets - I cant remember what bike they come off too long ago got them from a wrecker. I still have to tidy up the mounting brackets. Cheers

Hey Nicko, I just removed the cover and took a pic of my girl. Cheers Noz

Hey Nicko, I think my post is too old (2009)....LOL and the pictures might be deleted I'll see if I can find some pictures (not on my current computer) and repost. I have been re-inspired with my recent "tree change" and will try and finish her off by summer. Not much is needed only a coat of...

Great work there mate.. :) I've got one in the shed too that I haven't done much with over the last few years which I plan to finish off soon now that life has settled down and I have more time to do something. Check my post...

Re: Ratty Cafe - CX500 She looks great Steve, I had the same probs when deciding whether to polish or paint. I chose paint too & used Septone from Supercr@p, being the lazy ar$e (wife speaking) that apparentley I am... :D Cheers Noz
