WHEW!


I wasn't sure if you were joking or not about the calipers in that post. I saw somewhere where a guy was trying to pass-off OEM stuff as brembo in Thailand or something and someone fell for it. Can't remember now exactly where I read that. I saw the "they cost me a pretty penny" part and started to wonder if you bought them or if you did it.

Looks good though.

 

Some bike **** for ya

























My freshly PC'd parts all done in flat black except fork caps those are done in red baron. They should set the upper triple off some and they will look really good once I get the new fairings. PC'ing was $30 and the bead blasting was $20, so for $50 I am very happy and they turned out really nice.

 

I just got back from Honda getting hopefully the last of my OEM parts (except for the headlight) for this bike. I should have a rolling bike by the end of the week. I need to finish polishing the rims. The engine will be ready by the end of the week also, so wish me luck that I can get the engine in frame.

 

All I need now is a headlight, grips, and levers and to put everything back together.

 

Pictures? You know what kind of levers your going with? Brand or style of lever ?

 

I just purchased everything but the headlight today (that will be purchased next Friday.) I just went with some basic OEM like eBay grips. I did not want to use the stock levers so I ditched them and I am getting some shorty levers I got from the2wheels.com. Just your basic Chinese levers that are replicated and re branded that have really good reviews on multiple forums. I will be upgrading to ASV levers one day. I also ordered a Arashi rear rotor, new eBay radiator, complete stainless fairing bolt set, and a few other odds and ends stuff.

 

Wheels are done and they turned out great. I stripped and polished the lips and re painted the middle with a nice gloss black. I put new seals in and they are ready to go on.

 

Some more bike **** for ya:


New Arashi Rear Rotor and Shorty Adjustable Levers





Old radiator heading to the trash








New radiator heading to the bike








Brand new rubbers, collars, bolts, and nuts since the PO had zip tied the old radiator in place. I am still missing one nu tang for the fan to mount but it has been ordered.

 

That radiator looks great bro, definetly think you made the right choice. Any pics of assembly?

 

Not yet haven't had the time yet. I have Friday - Sunday off so lots of work to come.
