Forks with ribs machined off, one set for the Café the Gators set is for the K2 Hot Rod

Spoked hub with twin 275mm discs, ready for twin pot CB900 Callipers.

Shortened DOHC swing arm, I think I'll use this on the K2

Loads of polishing to do now, and need to build the wheels up with the Borani rims and stainless spokes.

Its a K hub, machined to take gs1000 Suzuki discs.

Its also possible to use a GT 250 380 500. 550 750 Suzuki hub, with the GS discs but some spacers are needed behind the discs. The spindles are the same diameter, and the CB 250 400 speedo drive fits.

Back wheel is F1, with an F2 sprocket carrier, the F2 swing arm is wider than the F1, and the carrier makes up the difference, twin piston caliper too.
