here is my cafe racer project.
its been a very slow progress as i have moved twice and getting my workshop up and running.
project started with a dirty 1975 cb400f, which i pickup from a cb400 expert. had a blown head gasket but other than that all sound. Ideas for this project is to go single sided swing arm and gxsr front end.
been buying all the parts as i find them and trying to keep the budget down.
as you can see from the photo date, i got the old girl in 2013.
took me 6months to get my garage sorted and kitted out, then had to move to a new house and start all over again.
I have made serious progress this December and going to keep cracking on it to finish before May.
The one photo shows the different ways I want to mount it, either 2x10mm front facing or 1x 10mm front facing and 1x 10mm upwards. Do you think 10mm thick steel is to light?
Mine is done with 5/16". It's tied in to the frame in a couple different places. But, my shock looks to operate a bit differently than yours does. It has a linkage rod that essentially compresses the shock from the bottom.
thinking last night of redoing the mounts for the top shock to look like this, what you think?
also i got a issue with the front end, the front brake calipers are touching the disk's,
i cant shim the disk as its touching the outside of the caliper,
what are my options here, either take the front rim in and get a engineering shop to skim it down 5mm
or
skim the caliper itself down by 5mm,
Got my steel this week now need to turn it into something useful.
Here is the design I'm going for
The last pic is what I want to do for the mount on the bottom of the frame
