Hi Trigger, found this yesterday, what great write up of what I would call a very difficult proposition doing the bike for £1K. I notice that you are building up the motor in the frame is this something that I could do with my CB750 K3 or do I have to wrestle with the engine putting it back. Anyway keep with the posting its great to read how it should be done. ;) ;) ;) ;)

Sadly Steve, unless you cut the top frame tubes on a 750, you can only install the motor unit complete. Or install a 'gordons frame kit' or similar...

Don't wrestle he motor back in lay it on it's side and lower the frame onto it, it's a lot easier.

A fantastic read Trigger, it's coming on well.
Who did the brake shoe relining, I need to get the shoes for my Triton relined as I cannot get replacement shoes.
Does the person you use also offer a brake drum skimming service to match the shoes to the drum (preferably with the tyre in situ)?
I think my drum has been pulled out of true when the stainless spokes were fitted.
Thanks
Dave

Dave, Trig asked me to send the brake shoes off somewhere to get them re lined, so I used Villiers Services. £21.95 including return post, 7 day turnaround, excellent job. Just pop them in the post with a note of the make and model they come from with your contact details in case they need to contact you.
