Cafe racer from Maribor -the first
« on: September 02, 2012, 11:09:54 AM »
Hi !
Sorry for my English .That is my first project -build.I,m not a mechanic ,my profesion is medicine so my skills are limited.I have one bike 76 f1 and frame from K model 1973 .Build will be started on K frame with K tank and Boldor 750 front fork ( i have 2 sets of them).On bay i have shot
4 instruments for 750 and many other parts.As first i have installed front fork and  moded angle for stearing to not hit the tank .My father welded on two pieces and now i have ca. 5mm air betwen tank and forks.Carburators are off now for cleaning and polishing .I dont know if I install K swingarm or F ? what will be better ?
here are some pictures of build.
Thanks for advices

You might want to fit the F Supersport swing arm so you can go with a rear disc brake.

Hi !
Yes i think i will go with rear disc brake ,so that is the way to go for me. First I must clean all 4 carburators .Choke parts must be new zink plated ,they are in bad shape .
