thank jay, that means alot after so much hard work.
 
Re: PRESENTING THE NEW CB500T BUILD!velocemeccanica-project 2-"The Repsol"*Video up!

Alright so I'm getting some other stuff done that I thought would improve performance and looks.
I'm doin a merged header, steering damper and drilled rotor.
Check it out, more to come

Note to anybody wanting to drill your rotor, use cobalt steel bits.
Or hit me up.

Wow, very nice build. Can you repost the pictures from the beginning of the thread? Is it just me that can't see them or is this the case for everyone? I am really interested in reading about the entire build. Thanks

Did you have to sand the rotor or anything afterwords to clean up the holes? Ive been tossing this idea around as well and wasnt sure how it would turn out. Im not sure why every bike back then had solid rotors like they are going mud racing or something. Maybe the advancement of drilled rotors just wasnt around yet...???

I used a chamfer I believe it's called, like what is used for wood working, I used it just to shave the edge of the holes so it would stay smooth.
U can probably use a step bit too.

Re: PRESENTING THE NEW CB500T BUILD!velocemeccanica-project 2-"The Repsol"*Video up!

alright, got the new rotor on, and will have the damper set up tommorow, exhaust is most likely going to have to be a traditional styled merged header, as running it along the side with the cone would be rubbing angainst my leg ALOT. lol.
so pics to come very soon.
 
Re: PRESENTING THE NEW CB500T BUILD!velocemeccanica-project 2-"The Repsol"*Video up!

Well here it is, done, it's got some blow by and dripping a bit of oil but I'm hoping that was just excess oil and hopefully it goes away if not il check the valve seals... :(
But besides that it's running strong and solid.
Here she is after filling up at the gas station and getting her home.
