CR 750 for road use build
captaink:
I'll need to make an ally brake cable mount and weld this to the brake plate.
Original brake rod will now be a cable.
There were wear marks on the hub left by the spokes, even though the wheel was 17" and now will be 18" the new spoke should cover the marks.
To machine the drum down on the lathe could be done but may weaken it so I'm leaving be.
captaink:
Trial fitting of the hub assy
Clip on and brake master trial fitting

I'm looking for a 4 -4 exhaust system in mild steel available in the UK ?
I know Cycle X do them and this may end up being the answer in the end.
They also do an oil filter combo to replace the existing oil filter housing with a spin on filter, any UK suppliers or anyone using or used one before ?
any assistance appreciated.
Suzuki performance parts do a CB750 4-2 full system but not sure at present what the quality is like. I need one for my Rickman CR750

The engine I have acquired for the CR replica is a 1977 and progress so far is that it has been striped, cleaned and inspected.
The cases appear to be in very good condition except the oil filter thread in the lower case, its ok but not perfect so its going to have to have an insert fitted.
The crankshaft and bearing match up has been a real eye opener and taxed my small brain but I think I'm there now.
Crankshaft micrometer readings, bearing colours seem ok now.
Head has gone to D & M Engineering for new guides to be fitted, new valves and springs.
Cylinder has already been bored to 836cc with a Wiseco big bore kit, cam polished.
I removed the original cylinder studs quite easily and replaced with APE studs and new APE crankcase mains studs.
captaink:
few more, everyone likes a picture ;)
Old studs removed with a blow lamp, WD40 and two 8mm nuts, some needed a little help with the mole grips as well.
New ones back in with a small thread dipping in wd40 and torque up using two 8mm nuts.
