« on: March 06, 2011, 07:49:45 PM »
Hi all, i have decided to start another one of my projects , again it will be a 750f2 sohc but this one is a parts bin special cafe racer project
I have 99% of the bits i need for this, many of them aquired while searching for bits for my 77 f2 restoration i bought job lots of bits just to get certain bits i needed and so ended up with some very usefull parts
This has given me a great excuse to build a cafe, and this one is going to be a stunner with lots of period mods, and goodies, i have seen some real good cafes recently and so have saved a few pictures as inspiration for my own
This will have to be a quick project as i have so many other bike projects in the que and it will take me a life time to complete them all unless i get my finger out and build them a bit faster , so here goes post 1 of the new project

I have decided to start with the brakes here is my progress
Dirty calipers, and master cylinders stripped and ready for blasting
Nice clean blasted calipers and mastercylinders
All brake parts de dusted de greased and sprayed up, the caliper brakets also got blasted then painted silver and lacquered
the foot peg brackets were degreased , blasted de dusted, satin polished and clear lacquered
