I know what I'm doing tomorrow. I received the seat from Voxonda and will make some brackets to weld on the frame.

And fit some tires, and a bracket for the steeringdamper, and a fairing support, and adapt some alloy sprockets, and ....

Oeps, seems that Saturday don't have enough hours in it.

Happy newyear and best wishes to all.

Take them and the rims to work, much easy-er to do then at home with tyreleavers.

brake calipers: not good. These brembo's are to wide and touch the spokes of the front wheel. Luckily there where some brakepistons missing and i didn't ordered them yet.

I think i need some of a Bmw K75 or K100.
Small setback, without money lost, got them for free.
All by all, a very busy Saturday.

Hello and welcome Sara

. Lovin the build so far, particularly like the fuel tank , thats what I call "functional "

.

What Brembos? Those big ole rotors are the issue. I use F05's with original rotors and had to fool a long time to make them work.

Yeah, very functional indeed.

Very first attempt in building a fuel tank myself. Welded with easyweld or should i say soldered?
There probably will be an "evolution" in tank form in the future. Maybe a bit more elegant.

The rotors are from a Yamaha and the discs are custom made for me, they are only half the width of the originals and much lighter. I have 1 cm between the discs and the forklegs, on each side.
Could you measure the overall width of a F05 caliper? Mine are F08, but not very sure.
Thank you
Sara

Yes those are 08's. Sorry I'm away from where my bike is for awhile and can't find a picture or measure the modified caliper. Basically removed material from the backside at the same angle as the spokes to clear. I just can't say for sure you can remove enough from the 08's but I think maybe Voxonda (Rob) has.

Thanks for the reply, but i think that the best solution is to obtain some F05's. Going to contact some people who might help me or point me in the right direction.

Thank you
Sara

They are smaller and lots of braking power. I use a 12mm Brembo master and it's a good combination.

Sara · « **Reply #46 on:** January 06, 2013, 10:06:07 AM »

Fitted the wheels with tires and already it looks like a motorbike.

Sara

Sara · « **Reply #47 on:** January 06, 2013, 10:10:51 AM »

My "quest" for the brembo's F05 hasn't had much result yet. ( holidays) But i found a very nice looking oilcooler (for free) and another seat ( also for free). Too bad it is 5 cm to wide, looks very comfy.

Sara

Sara · « **Reply #48 on:** January 20, 2013, 09:53:17 AM »

Last sunday my neighbour came to my garage to chitchat about bikes. Nice tires , he said, like the profile but is the rear tyre not mounted backwarts? What do you know about bikes, of course the tyre is not mounted backwarts.

Look at the arrow on the tyre.

Ouch. Humble pie. I made a beginners mistake and mounted the rear tyre wrong way around. What was i thinking.

Thank god for neighbours.

Sara

Sara · « **Reply #49 on:** January 24, 2013, 09:44:39 AM »

Had some spare time today and mounted the carbs and the oilcooler. And reversed the rear tyre

. Lined up the chain to.
