Which brakes? ...and headlight brackets

(1/4) > >>

Robbo:
Both the front calipers are seized on my F2, I am wondering if there are any other calipers that will bolt on - maybe a 4 pot caliper from a slightly newer or bigger bike?
Has anyone got any experience with this? My neighbor has a 4 pot set from a CBR900 or something? He seems to think that they might fit - any ideas?

Secondly; I want to fit a single headlight but I have not brackets or headlight. Some brackets on ebay are going for over £50 per side! Will any F series brackets and headlight fit? Does anyone have one they might be interested in selling?

Due to the amount of work/time/money that I don't have this winter I'm putting my PRR into cafe trim whilst I save a little to get the tank and bodywork done properly. I have started making a seat and going over the bike bit by bit, with the aim of riding it this summer. I gave the carbs a really good clean (solid varnish inside) and she wants to go but seems to be only firing on 3 cylinders. In the mean time I need to work out the mess of a wiring loom, get the headlight, brakes, indicators and seat all done so I can at least take her for a test ride.

I would just kit the calipers you have push mine out with grease gun,
on head light side i I used rap around fork clamps then made ally brackets with slight kink in to fit width of lamp that way you can have lamp at what ever distance you want from headstock hope this helps.

Robbo:
Have you got any pictures? Sounds great

Sorry, bit of a thread hijack, easiest way to put up pictures is get yourself a Photobucket account.

Go to www.photobucket.com and register (it's free).  You can then upload pictures from your pc to your Photobucket album. When you want to insert a picture into a message open up your Photobucket account in a second browser and put your mouse pointer over the picture you want to paste, a dialogue box opens up below the picture, left click the 'IMG' code box at the bottom, it will say 'Copied', come back to your sohc topic and right click to paste the link, you should then get your chosen image appear when you post your message.
