Thanks all, looks like it will have to go

I've filled in the side panel gap with a metal piece and covered it in Carbon Fiber effect vinyl (temporary). I'm thinking I should paint it black gloss or silver. Any opinions?

Had to cut off the rear sub frame and make a hoop to fit the seat and carry the electrics. This meant cutting and undoing the work to date with the under tray etc. So far, I've made the hoop and fitted it with a revised under tray and lights. The side panel gap covers are fabricated- I'm...

Fitted heat guard to battery compartment and re-routing cables

Thanks for all that tech. I have another SS750 engine in a BSA/Brough project (for another day), it's probably 1991 or so. There is no alternator or carbs fitted- I was going to avoid cannibalizing it, but I may have to. The Bing carbs fitted to mine will have to be re-jetted, as they are...

According to my measurements, I may not have to cut the sub frame. The seat should be long enough to cover the rear. IF not I'll cut it and modify

Apologies - right way round

I've decided to go with a tracker flat seat, I've made an under tray and I've got an SS750 rear hugger on the way- so I can't build it up much more until these get here. I'll concentrate on the wiring and the hydraulics for now

Exhausts on, engine sealed, frame bolted home. Waiting for parts now

I am going to go with this seat for the moment

Not sure about that, I think I'll go with a straight plank type seat-

Thanks Maritime, that's what came up when I looked. Sorry but I don't see the style matching- what about :-

What type of seat is a 'tracker' I've looked at a few online and they don't seem to fit the profile

Latest dry build mock up What seat? Bobber or cafe Any suggestions for rear fender? fit to swing arm or mount to frame Looking at acewell Clock and 8" Head lamp

Firs look at a new dry build- No luck with the chrome plating on the fork legs or engine casings- will have to go with blasting and powder coating- (my least favourite) Not a great finish on the polished parts (belt covers, rocker covers etc)- but acceptable. Fitted new belts, tensioners and...

I will have to sort out the photos

We are now at this stage. Machine stripped lots of heavy corrosion- the bike was kept near the sea and all parts are badly pitted and chrome is peeling Have engine cases, forks and exhaust away for blasting and polishing Fuel tank and revised mudguards are back from paint shop Wheels were very...

stock MC bore for this model is 5/8" (16mm). There are cheap Chinese aftermarket ones on ebay for $30-40 that work OK but not great, they have a tendency to leak. A new Brembo MC is about $120. high quality and works great. Thanks, for info. The Yamaha MT09 unit is a brembo, I didn't remove...

Thanks for that info. Where would the size be marked? Regards

Has anyone replaced the front brake master cylinder with a modern unit. I've tried a Honda Hornet and a Yamaha MT09- none will work with the old Kawasaki calipers. I've replaced the piston seals and dust seals on the calipers and in the meantime, I've fitted a master cylinder over haul kit to...
