Nah, want to ride this one in anger.

Update:

Although not much has happened recently these turned up, protective sleeve for the bare braided brake lines and a temporary filter for the cam cover. The plan is to run a catch tank later (and would be needed for race regs).

There we go
https://i475.photobucket.com/albums/rr119/Timon1983/VFR%20nc30%20trackbike/IMG_25771_zpsfb55fa40.jpg

But as the rubbers, clips and cables are all here now today I managed to get the almost impossible task of fitting the carbs with a HRC airtray getting in the way done. Had to take the grill out as it was going rusty. That'll not be made from stainless then but it will get a coat of zinc (as will the top rad grill).

Got the grills back form the zinc coater which meant I could get the rads on now as well as the HRC overflow bottle.

Managed to get the billet 6 pots back together and on the bike this weekend.

Here they both are after I repainted the lines with black caliper paint.
https://i475.photobucket.com/albums/rr119/Timon1983/VFR%20nc30%20trackbike/IMG_2811_zpsef9396a0.jpg

Nice and clean now
https://i475.photobucket.com/albums/rr119/Timon1983/VFR%20nc30%20trackbike/IMG_2813_zps1b60cc01.jpg

Pushed the pistons back out, applied some grease then pushed them back in again.
https://i475.photobucket.com/albums/rr119/Timon1983/VFR%20nc30%20trackbike/IMG_2816_zpsa4e1b2ee.jpg

Copper slipped pads and zinc'd retaining pins
https://i475.photobucket.com/albums/rr119/Timon1983/VFR%20nc30%20trackbike/IMG_2814_zps01b9d6bf.jpg

All on the bike with the protective wrap on the brake lines

Thought I'd do a trail fit. Glad I did because there were loads of little mods to be done.
Slowly getting there.

Found this modified Harris front ally mount.
Few more mods and I'll get it to fit properly.

Been working on the clocks mount at the moment.

Got a section welded on the the end and then cut it down to length
https://i475.photobucket.com/albums/rr119/Timon1983/VFR%20nc30%20trackbike/null_zps57c5efdd.jpg

Then shaped it down, drilled and tapped it.
https://i475.photobucket.com/albums/rr119/Timon1983/VFR%20nc30%20trackbike/null_zps4fb95198.jpg

This has been easy to say but has taken an age to get right with the fairing etc coming off and on many times to make sure everything fits properly.

Next thing is to get it bolted on with the clocks so I can make a template for another catch tank bottle mount

Yep I've made some tooling now to make servicing calipers easier now.

Got the catch tank bottle mount for the fuel tank made in stainless.

[fozzym]

Was having a bit of a debate with a chap about the theory behind greasing up the brake caliper piston (as described in your earlier post)

I thought it sounded a good idea as bike brakes seem notorious for seizing up.
He however thought the grease would attract muck that may possibly get past the seals and cause problems.

What's your take on it TIM ?

[Tim..]

Hi fozzym. Like with most things I consider it a trade off.

These cailpers had not been used in a while and the reason I used the red rubber grease was to just help free up the pistons and get them 'gliding' a tad better.

Yes its true that the grease will attract a bit more dirt but that is what the caliper dust seal is there for. Hopefully the little barrier of grease would stop any salt/water/grit getting to the seals.

I certainly dont intend on letting the calipers get so dirty that they start to seize up. Cleaning and maintenance is a motorcycles best friend
