First Generation Ascots > The Thumper Years: Modified To Full Customs
Dutch FT project
WTF304:
That's some real beauty.... keep your chin up, take your time .... can't rush perfection.
Slyphon:
Is the CX500 tank a direct fit? I purchased a CB750 Super Sport tank last summer, but the tunnel is a slightly different shape and narrower. It will take a bit of work to get it on there.
FT500R:
haven't been online for a while and haven't done anything to the bike unfortunately.
I've been to busy with work and I don't have a garage to work in. (I'm really done with working on the street so I think I'll have to start looking for one)
Regarding your questions:
@J6G1Z: I have a fireblade master cilinder and lever so will fit that with the ducati brakes... she will probably stop on a dime than.
@AndreLindholm: No I haven't gotten round to fitting the wheels yet. If I start with the fitting Í'll defenitily post every progress here.
@WTF304: thanks. Really want to take more time to work on the bike though, there is rushing and there is no progress....
@Slyphon: the tank is not a direct fit. The tunnel of the cx tank is way wider than the ascots. This is an easy fix by replacing the rubber pieces that hold the tank with wider ones or something like that.
thanks for posting guys.
Helps me to remember that I should start working on the bike again.
regards,
Paul
WTF304:
You've got time and money in it, it would be nice to enjoy thE fruits of your labor. Should be a real head turner when she's all done.
Just keep picking at it
FT500R:
thanks guys,
The replies on this topic made me realise I had to work on the bike again.
Got the fireblade forks out of the bike to see if I could fit the spoked wheel and bigger brakes.
I had to get new bearings for the wheel and fabricate some new spacers.
Right now the wheel is perfectly centered between the fork legs. However the brake faces on the hub seem not to be completely centered.
Any thoughts on this?
well, time for pictures I guess ;D
the wheel centered with the new spacers
nicely centered
with disks in the forks
lookin good
regards Paul
