I like the look of the engine, matt black and stainless, great contrast .

Agreed. Looking good, Steve.

I like that too.

Thanks guys. I've sourced all the bolts via eBay and local fastener company's, took a bloody while and found out today that I've missed one! The wheels are at the tyre place I've done them the same, matt black with the stainless nuts and bolts, so here's hoping it looks ok.

Nice work what paint did you use on engine

Hi yozzer, it was Rust-Oleum Stove and BBQ Heat Proof Black paint, on the recommendation of members on this and the USA site. Went on a piece of cake.

What's next job then have you bought the m unit yet

[onethumb]

 Off to Valencia for the last round of the GP on Wednesday so can't order anything till I get back so the m-unit is on hold till then.
Looked through my box of parts and I'd forgot the headstock bearings so that's the next thing along with the new tyres so I can move it around my very small garage.
How's your scrambler build?
The cafe racer looks the bizz.

Got my tyres! Shame I can't put the front on as I'm still waiting for my order from ds for my headstock bearings.

The treads look great, did you get the longer shocks?  The clearance looks reasonable.

Looking good and the clearance does look good too

Thanks for the comments. Hi Alex I did go for the longer shocks, they are 365mm from cb750 DOHC so 30mm longer than the SOHC shocks.  This was what a lot of people in the states said to go for. I'm really pleased with the look of the tyres just what I was after. Worth the extra £££s.
Yozzer, you'll be gad to hear I've now got 120mm from the top of the tyre to the lowest point on the frame so ripping all the metalwork out, changing the design and fitting the longer shocks has worked out. Thanks for the heads up about checking the clearance because I had completely missed it.

Think you will have to set your chain a little slack with having longer shocks on .I've been reading about it
