Ha all, New to the forum but been lurking in the background for a while. I've had my 750 F1 for a couple of years and its been in the family for 20+ years. A seized front brake piston and a shortage of parts made me look at what I could do with it. I've owned many bikes over the years ranging from 2 strokes, twins, V4's, inline 4's and Honda have always been my go to manufacturer.

Anyway, part way through a café racer conversion and now running into issues with it (mainly the wiring and discrepancies with the Haynes manual diagram and the colour on the bike). Thought this was a great place to come for advice and to share the pain and the joy on the journey.

The bike currently has cognito moto hubs laced to Sun rims. GSXR 750 big piston forks and Brembo radial calipers and Brembo discs. Running 2014 fireblade switch gear for that factory look. Custom made seat, Cognito rearsets and many one off parts.

Thanks in advance for any help and keep up the good work. Great forum.

Thanks,

Dicko750

Loads of local advice on wiring looms etc (many have been there already...)
