CB400f custom top yoke

(1/3) > >>

This is a top yoke i made for my cb400f cafe racer build. Made on a mill and lathe, probably took me about 8 hours.

I'm really that i was able to get the ignition switch, dash lights and speedometer on it, but i would like it to have sat a little lower.

As I'm not a metal worker, I'm curious - what part of the fabrication of that nice-looking piece of work was done on a lathe?

The two holes for the stanchions and the stepped hole for the spindle were all bored in the lathe. Basically the whole part is spun around the centre of each hole.

Interesting, thanks!
