half way there

24-03-2009, 02:16 PM

to go on - rizoma triple and clips, kellermans, crg bar end mirrors, belt covers of some sort
gloss black seat cowel, alluminium sproket cover,

to do - lower lights and clocks, sort out flaky paint, powder coat radiator cooler (if possible), touch up engine cases

to come off - maybe the Zard system for Quat D - still mulling this over

Summer Time wil think about - brakes, airfilter would like to go down the rizoma fluid pods with brembo upgrade but dont want to lose me lovely shorty Panzo levers, any suggestions here????

any suggestions welcomed, open to ideas.

nice and tidy!

yea trying to keep it all as minimal as possible, its a never ending passion as we all know. Aim to finish by summer, still some bits and bobs to do. Hide the wiring is on the list. I have literally sold everything to fund this, last week my 15 year old record collection and turntables went, 3 pairs of vintage addidas, pair of Diesel Jeans.....you get the picure!! I own nothing! but I'm smiling everytime I go to work!!!!

If your dropping the front and fitting clip ons I'll pretty much guarantee that your OE brake lines wont fit so perhaps get some ready before finding out halfway through the job.

yes your right I'd forgotten about this, so brake lines may need replaceing, any sugestions on type and I'll get on it asap

cheers for the heads up

When I did mine I found the double banjo for two single lines just wouldn't fit so I'd suggest a split line for that reason, I uprated my brakes at the same time so the lines from an SS fitted my set up, but the fittings at the caliper are at a different position to your oe calipers which makes the angled fittings awkward, so standard SS lines may not work for you.

Part of the joy of this type of project is finding out just what works and what doesn't.

Nice wheels hon

How about anodised fork legs!

24-03-2009, 10:16 PM

yes I am very happy with those wheels, everyone says big improvement. Love to get the forks done in gold - maybe in the summer??? thats a lot of Jack D. Your right about the 1098 fender, looks good but doesn;t do anything!!!! oh well

with venhill you can build your own lines to measure (and color) use a bit of wire to mock them and measure them up..

Not sure if S2Rs are anything like my 1000Sie, but when I installed clip ons i did not think there was a need to change the brake lines. They were a little longer but did not foul on anything so I left alone.
Lovely looking bike littlejimmy, looks like marcus' old bike

"looks like marcus old bike" that is tall praise indeed, I'll confess I have pics of his in my collection of monnies as a source for ideas.

The bike looks great
I used goodridge "biuld a line" for my front brakes.the lines are pre make in 25mm inc and then just pick the bolts and adaptors as you need.
my local bike shop stock them so i just took the bike to them then sat outside and biult what i wanted then paid for the bits used.(they even let me use there vac thingy to pull the new fluid thru)
