750 F2 Cafe racer project 2011
UK Pete:
Ok i am pushing on with the build, i had a good think on what i wanted to do and have decided if i get a rolling chassis then it kind of pushes the rest of the build on, so where better than to get the wheels ready.
I was quite lucky with the wheels as they were quite good, the front had been polished by the PO , and the disks were already drilled, i had left these outside under a roofed area for a year so the aluminium had started to furr up a bit, i spent a day giving them a good clean and got the polishing wheel on them
While i had the polishing wheel out i took the forks apart and done the fork lowers, again i was well lucky that they had already been done and just needed a whizz over with the wheel
Next i had to get myself some tyres, not wanting to spend any money i decided to rob the tyres off one of my other projects an F1 750, these tyres are new and totally unused and seeing as the bike wont realistically get retored for at least a year it was worth the agro of taking them of the F1 wheels and fitting them to the F2
After several hours of blood sweat and tears the tyres are fitted

I really like that era of comstars and they look good silver rather than black painted.
No wonder you've had blood sweat and tears to put them on you've only used a rabbit and plastic bucket!!
kaceyk2:
ah but thats a "special-nippon-seiki-rabbit" trained in the art of pit stop tire changes, and vey very dangerous. from 1978 these rabbits were banned by the EU for domestic use, after a spate of grisly deaths.
UK Pete:
Yes those rabbits are pretty damn nasty thats why i have the bucket to catch him in before he turns on me, to give him his due he does a mean tyre change
