CRK Cafe Racer Kit - Build

Yes please let me know what you do with exhaust, yes have to admit copied the CRK design to some degree. Will cover the whole tank and tail unit with paper and sketch on before finally deciding.

TBH dont know what to do with the exhaust silencers at the moment

 

I know have spent quite some time looking, some of those on ebay look to cheap to be true !!

 

Hi there, had to bit of work this morning !

no i want something a bit smaller they look quite large, i am looking at baffling the silencers i have got at present as like the look of them

 

ok, have seen some fairly similar on ebay, not sure about the quality though

 

Evening all.......

Bit of an update, exhausts off again while wait for new kick up link pipes, fitted some baffles to the silencers.

All indicators, lights and electrical's working fine now, had to fit some ballast resistors to get LED Flashers to work.

Fitted tank properly comes on and off now smoothly, not going to fill with fuel until after painting.

Have brake lines to fit yet have some braided HEL items with red anodized fittings, should look good with red paint work (i hope).

The rear seat pod will need some careful sanding to get a good fit so can see that being a few evenings and then hopefully get it fired up again next weekend with baffled silencers fitted.

 

Thanks for those inspirational pics.

Have ordered a pair of short reverse cone silencers off ebay in chrome hoping to keep the up-swept link pipes. Putting the other silencers on ebay.

Update on the bike front have small oil leak which have tracked down to clutch slave cylinder push rod oil seal, have to drop oil to change it !! must be about the only seal i haven't changed.

Fitted new HEL front brake pipes, seem a bit long ?? may have to send back get shortened.

Still have rear brakes to do yet and fit rear seat unit as well as multitude of other little jobs, when exhausts arrive and get fitted will post some more pics.

 

It maybe because i have dropped the forks down the yolks a little further than standard although not convinced could do with about 100-150 mm off each front pipe otherwise big loops of braided hose.

Have ordered some billet brake pipe clamps so when these turn up can install pipe properly the accurately measure how much needs taking off then contact HEL to see if they can alter, am sure they will.

 

Hi There.

Got my new exhaust silencers fitted, really pleased with them, gave quick start up sound ace loud but not deafening put upswept link pipes on to give them a bit of a different look .... well upswept i guess !! .

Fitted new slave cylinder as old one so rusty not worth re-furbishing ( note Triumph spares about £5 more for brand new than second hand off ebay).

Got a billet brake reservoir of ebay, think result looks ok

i yes,mine was similar to yours i put a couple of spacers 15mm and a weight on seat to keep level then measured up to start with say 10 mm all round remove to this level and gap starts to reduce. I am at point where will reduce size if spacer have used a detail sander to remove material
