How did you fellas manufacture that oil reservoir which mounts in the filter position?

Mike, You hit on the one thing that I can not do at this time. It would be pretty costly , but it's on the drawing table.
I would prefer to build the bike first to engineer it.

Rob
Boy I believe that! ;D Casting it or making sections from billet would/will be a very time consuming and costly I figure. Page 86 and 87 of the book  "Bimota 25 Years of Excelence" have decent pics of the unit.....it's pretty massive. Sold for 280,000 Lire in 74/75. About 160.00 40 years ago. I'm sure Bimota has a couple of spares on hand. ;) ;D ;D

Here we have the Dual Brembo F08 installed to CB750 front hub. Does require wider triple tree.

Rob

that is a lot of leverage from caliper to mount, may need to tie into the fender mount..

Here is the front end with carbon fiber fender. I made  a set of beefy triple clamps. They are only 35mm thick  and could make a thicker triple.

Wow, thanks for that, I'll have to put that in the oil tank budget. Pricey little thing.

This is incredible work.  I just learned about the HB1 today!  Looking forward to the build :)  Tell me you're keeping the carbon work visible?

I was wondering when someone was going to ask. I'll build the bike with carbon unpainted and then, as I bite my knuckles, paint to original. I will have plenty of photos. Unless I have overwhelming response I'll eventually paint.

With no silencer inserts. Just the shell.$600 for the set
I was planning to make some similar myself.
Saw the price and couldn't pass them up.

Got a link to the megga bodies? Those would be pure sex on my Rickman redo. I have been kicking around using a RC 4-1 but the extra weight of that much sex is worth it.

That seems like an awesome price for 4 totally custom-made silencer bodies.  And they look amazing.  I understand with the carbon paint choice, but oh it will be a sad day!!

I was originally going with Ceriani style Triple Clamps, but needed a wider set, because of the Brembo calipers needed more room.
So I machined these up, but added the adjustable offset bushing. 45mm Offset with 2.5mm and 5mm offset bushing for 40-50mm range.

So are you machining spacers for the hub to calipers to accommodate for the wider fork spacing?
