mini mc reservoir

I had to make a mini mc reservoir today for a Nissin front brake master cylinder and decided to set up the camera on the lathe tailstock. Boring stuff... enjoy!

Cafe racer seat pan surgery





CB175 cafe project for a customer. The aftermarket tail section was decent, but needed a section added to both the pan and tail section itself to hide the big opening gap at the back of the stock gas tank. This will flow a bit better once the pan is foamed and upholstered. Clubman bars, rear-sets, and some other little bits and this little bike will be ready to test ride.

Trim job



A little bit shorter, but it had to be done. I've also decided on the addition of some mini switches.

One step further






Got the buggered fork stops situated and made an "over tech" fork stem bolt cover. Sunday meditation on the mill and lathe.
