A few more pictures. Brake lines, torque arm, rear caliper, clutch cable. Finally moving along. Will start the wiring soon. I've had this bike for a while, it's the one from Belgium that had the 'Racingmania" fairing decal. lou

I think she's a real one. Someone had try to convert her to the street but didn't finish. I've aded the missing parts and fixed the good bits. Now I need to give her some wiring. Your right Chris, I'm lucky to get to work on stuff like this. She was a mess though. These are old pictures. She was a lot worse for the wear when I received her. Check out that nice rear brake line routing! Lou

You are trying to corner the market in TTs Lou! And don't think we did not see the 750 Sport bevel in the background. Besides, do you ever have the time (or money) to enjoy a hot pastrami sandwich from one of the NY delis?

I have been looking at the collection of detail photos of that bike for about 10 years now. I see it has new front rotors; I would be suspicious of this one if I were you.

Hi Mike, those are old pictures from the internet when the bike was in Belgium. No bevels in my shop. The rotors are original and have been vapor blasted and treated with new Brembo floating buttons, washers and clips. Oh, and yes, I am broke and can't afford a pastrami sandwich. The bike is not mine! Lou

Glad you took my ribbing you Lou. You said you wanted to buy them all.

That vapor blasting is impressive. Have not seen that used on CI. I have looked around here for someone who does that, but they all seem rather distant.

Keep us up to speed with the progress.

Thanks,
MikeV

Progress? Slow. Here's a cush restoration. Four new bearings, some bead blasting, all new hardware and sprocket. I think I love the glamour most when I restore stuff. No one cares how long this takes. Luckily I get about .50 cents an hour American for my labor! Trying to revive the Forum with some stimulating posts! Lou
