CB500 K2 Cafe build.

<< < (6/7) > >>

K2-K6:
The paint and seat look like very well done jobs, it's nice when you pick someone to do it and they turn it out better than expected.

It'll be nice to see it when assembled.

Mitchv60:
A little more progress. 8)
The front and rear hubs and brake plate have all been cleared with a matt clear coat to give them some protection and then all the new bearing where installed.I dropped the hubs off to the wheel builder 2 weeks ago(should have them back next week)to have the new excel valanced rims and stainless spokes fitted.
The engine has been stripped and vapour blasted and awaits me to take it to the painter once I get the head back.


I've had the fork legs back today from Philppot and they have made a first class job.
Before


After


I've finished my mudguard/engine splash guard(not finished in the photo)and its trimmed sanded and ready for the finished coating.Made from a sheet of 2mm ally and bent to fit.


Frame has now had all the welding done and just need all the prep work to be finished before powder coating.

Mitchv60:
Fork legs have now both been polished,picture is one done one not.

Forks have been reassembled and are being dropped off to Maxton ar the weekend to have all new internals and springs fitted to bring them up to current suspension standards as possible.


Collected my new Excel Takasago flanged wheels with stanless spokes from the wheel builder this morning and very nice they are to. 8)
