Thanks a ton, looks great. if you get bored and decide you want to make another of those gauge cluster mounts, I'll gladly buy one
Is the ignition still on the left side near the forks?
Got the vortex bars installed and the Brembo master cylinder. All went together with little drama. The front brake line is a little long. It would work, but I'll get a shorter one made up before this is done. Fluid reservoir in the mail.
Now it's starting to get a café look:
I have a sun line clutch lever on in the picture, but I'm going to use the factory unit. I ordered CRG levers for the brembo brake unit and the factory Buell clutch side. This way they will match.
Also made the seat loop. I drew out a shape that I think will work well and look good. Then bent two pieces of 1" DOM to fit my shape. Three bends on each piece then welded together in the middle.
I hope to get this mocked up soon and make a fiberglass seat and cowl before the winter shuts me down.
Looking great, Nicholas, if you happen to have a paper drawing of the template you used to make the gauge cluster mount like you do for the seat loop, would you mind posting it up?
Sorry man I scraped it. If I had it I'd mail you a copy. To make the template I cut a piece of construction paper to a ball park size. Then rubbed an outline of the top triple clamp onto it with pencil lead rods. To get the location of the mounting holes I rubbed little paint on the studs and pressed it on the paper.
The piece that wraps around was time consuming. I bent it around various sockets, tubing, ect until it matched up.
I might make another one. The first one was forthe factory bars. Now that I have clipons it is a little off. If I do I'll send you the old one. But this won't be for a while. Gotta get the tail section done.
Made some frame hubs. These will mount to the factory sub frame locations. I will weld notched tubing to them to support my tail.
Wow man ! You're good !
