More fab work. The 83 XL600 didn't come with a rear disc brake. This process has already been fun. But the end result will be worth it. So, now for mapping and fabbing a master cylinder hanger bracket. The concept: I used a master cylinder I found on ebay. I liked that the reservoir was...

I have a '78 CB750F tank in my garage. It is in flat black. I'd have to inspect closer, but I remember it being pretty clean inside and out. PM me if you're still on the hunt.
