500 K cafe racer conversion - build thread
Ewan 500 K1:
So, now that the frame has been coated and I've got my chroming back, I'm ready for the final reassembly .... summer here we come 8)
Engine in the frame, new headstock bearings in, new swingarm shock mount bushes installed, swing arm on, Hagon 14 and a half inch rear shocks on.
Ewan 500 K1:
back wheel on, forks on, front wheel on. Chain clearance with longer rear shocks not leaving much room .. might need to get a swing arm protector
Ewan 500 K1:
Tarozzi rearsets on... not get enough "spring back" on the brake lever side using the stock honda spring, will need to think about that.
Ewan 500 K1:
Baffled Exhausts & NHK 500 ODM Steering Damper on. Close up photos of the steering damper show left and right full locks (bearing in mind the steering stop was extended 10cm either way)
