Sell me some of those engine brackets.

please.

pretty please.

Are you referring to the engine stand brackets? My buddy has laser cutting machines and made them, I designed them up and still have the files. Would you like me to get a quote for them?

Yeah those brackets. If you could send me the files, I can cut them at the shop I work at. We have a CNC Plasma.

I just haven't the tools to measure the hole center to center.

Also yours looks so pretty, makes me jealous.

Also, I have a Mac. So I cans get any good cad software.

I think I may pick up a PC for cad.

I guess I could use it for work too.

Great Build! I'll be keeping an eye on this one. Those rear shocks look great! Wish i could afford a set of those.

Your build is looking great! How's the progress? I'm up in SF and trying to find time to get mine done. I have a couple questions though:
1. who did the swingarm mod
2. where did you get the rearsets? did you have to mod the frame to take them or do they bolt in?

Sweet work!

Oil cooler bracket.

I believe it is from a CB650, recently purchased it brand new from the UK for about $110 shipped. Made a real simple bracket it ease installation with one bolt and rubber grommets.

Trimed the bottom side of my fiberglass seat to expose half the OD of the tubing.

Are you going to use a rubber mount on that cooler..? I would, with only one mounting point, vibration will fatigue that top mount on the cooler rather quick in my opinion...

IRISHCBRACER · « **Reply #89 on:** May 12, 2013, 03:28:02 PM »

Yes, rubber grommets top and bottom for isolation

cool....

This is awesome! Seems like a lot of cafe interest in this thread. We should have a meet up!

spdygnzlz · « **Reply #92 on:** May 15, 2013, 09:23:31 AM »

Hey Paul,

How's the fitment of those rearsets? Any frame mods required? Finally, do they work with the kickstart?

Thanks,
-earl

IRISHCBRACER · « **Reply #93 on:** May 23, 2013, 04:09:16 PM »

Not sure about the clearance for the kick starter yet, plan is to have a reliable electric start every time

I so love these rear sets if I need to use the kick start I will modify the kick starter shape and bolt it on.

spdygnzlz · « **Reply #94 on:** May 23, 2013, 04:36:58 PM »

Do they bolt into the frame with no mods otherwise? They're pretty hot...

Tews19 · « **Reply #95 on:** June 28, 2013, 07:29:17 PM »

Any updates? Im doing a pretty similar build. Same front end and tank..

IRISHCBRACER · « **Reply #96 on:** September 19, 2013, 02:06:38 PM »

The project is ticking along.....sloooooowly

Cases are now painted

IRISHCBRACER · « **Reply #97 on:** September 19, 2013, 02:16:27 PM »
