Re: Project two---a CB400F
Glimpses of what might actually eventually be!!!
Sorted out my "wheel is not centered between the forks" hiccup. I goofed when I laced the wheel - with it laying on a table, I snubbed up all the nipples by hand, then threw it on the axle/forks to true it. This resulted in me truing a wheel that was askew to one side. Lesson learned!
With that sorted, I test fitted the painted brake caliper mounts and rotors to hub, and hung the whole shebang from the forks. Test fitted the (empty) calipers......I *think* we're off to a decent start.....nothing looks wonky to me....? I think I wiped up all the drool.![Big Grin :D :D](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
Also got that CB550 top triple home, gave it a quick roughup and did the Satin Black thing to it to match the lower triple.
