CRK Cafe Racer Kit - Build

Mine was exactly the same, just remove where the line reaches and then fit gradually lower and lower spacers, i am in the middle of this at the moment have marked the back and sides of the tail unit so i can put in the same position each time

 

I had the same reservations as you although if you look underneath the unit does sit above the cross members.

I also put a heavy weight on the seat part to hold the tail unit against the spacers while marking up

 

Hi bit of an update, finished sanding and fitting the rear seat unit.

Also fitting front brake pipes, found some decent billet machined pipe clamps on ebay think it finishes the job better than the original fittings.

 

Hi Just a Haynes Manual

 

How did you get on with seat unit ? have finished mine now, having looked at your pics again, mine was exactly the same, quite a lot of material ends up coming of the rear and the front of it just take your time and it will work out fine.

 

Hi quick update, taking in for painting next week, think sorted design out covered tank and seat unit with paper then go busy with felt markers !!

The red will be a triumph signal red, i am looking for a triumph pearlescent white does anyone no if they actually do one in the triumph range ?

Still have a few jobs left to do, getting closer though

 

Dropped all the tank and bits off at painters this morning, Diablo Red, Crystal White, Phantom Black. Just waiting for price and time scale as they seem pretty busy.

Had a look at some other stuff they had done it looked superb.

 

Wheeled it outside for first time, all together now, few bits left to do while waiting for bodywork to come back, sorted misfire out, pleased with way it sounds

 

Thanks cant wait to try it on the road, even wheeling it around that "top heavy" feel of old bike has gone

 

Thanks, ended up getting carried away every nut bolt bearing brand new
