CR750 replica build
K2-K6:
Extremely nice work and final product.
I'd call it a "recreation" rather than repro as some may consider it. With method and detail being important in that process to step through what is much of the original work again in creating this.
A fine example of engineering competence, and producing something from a very interesting era of racing brakes.
My compliments, on such an interesting brake assembly too.
CR21:
Hi K2-K6,
Thanks for your kind words, it has been a long term project but is starting to come together slowly ;D
CR21:
Managed to borrow an original CR750 chinpad, 3D scanned it, reverse engineered it in CAD and will cast some in a low shore hardness polyurethane under a vacuum. The depression in my tank wont fit the original pad so I will plan to modify this to suit.
Also - collecting the wheels on Tuesday 8) Had the rear brake control arms polished as per the originals:
Cheers,
CR21

Lovely job as always and it really is coming along nicely.
Who do you use for plating, excellent quality. I used Ashford Platers who are actually located in Crayford S E London!

Hi Dave, these parts were polished by a good friend of mine, aside from a couple of fasteners there is not any chrome on this bike.
Cheers
