Thats a NSR500 Honda and the bottom pipes are like that so they have ground clearance and exit on the right hand side of the bike.  That engine is sitting as it would in the bike....

Thanks, Sam! Darned good looking "conservative cafe." I like it, and I've got this excellent stone stock K2 I'm ready to lightly (bolt on) mod! I do believe that a set of drilled "M" bars and one of our Giuliari repro seats will get 'er done!   ;)  RR

Is this guy a member here?  I saw his bike on the cycleX fbook page.  Is that frame one-off or is it modified from something else?  Looks fun  8)

Oh yeah.  I just googled martin cb750 and a ton of them came up. Are they originally a monoshock design?  I saw both. 80's?

Looks like he is using braided hydraulic line and a flare hydraulic tee. Pretty cool actually. This is the stuff used on airplanes as well.

Yep, and very clean approach! I wonder how he attached the nylon wire tie to the "T" fitting?  RR

I'm more interested in what more modern bike the rotors came from that they just bolted up and were the correct diameter....
