Excellent read on this project. Reminds me of my CB750F2 Special from a few years ago

Nice yoshi .I see you did the break convertion to twin piston calipers are they off the 900f .does it make much difference to the breaks performance. Got some more work done on bike today swing arm on and shockers on forks rebuilt with new seals .and wheels on .Will put some pictures on tomorrow.also hoping to get pipe on tomorrow too.

The CB900FA twin piston calipers did make a big difference. I used Ferodo Supersport pads, as they are my preferance. One finger braking was possible  ;)

Bloody brilliant. Well done Yozzer and great to see all your hard work coming alive.....I remember the early photos of the fuel tank and oil tank/ toolbox cover but they look even better on the (nearly) finished bike.

I'm not a big fan of Cafe Racers but I have to admire yours as it's one of the best I have seen......and it hasn't been done by a specialist professional with many tens of thousands of pounds thrown at it, but by a skilled bloke in his Garage.

Well done.
