On to mounting the Brembos, these have come up just about as awkward as possible for mounting to the forks
What I always do in cases like this is make a template from MCF because MFD is cheap and easy to cut etc, here’s the template
I make sure the piece is perfect in fit and appearance then send it away for CNC’ing out of 7075T6 alloy.
I’m using adjustable turnbuckles from a car steering system so set up the ride height, once the bike is finished and the rear suspension is set up right I’ll make new alloy rods to replace the turnbuckles
I need a new top shock mount to hold the R6 shock, I’ve made a pattern from MDF for the CNC man to copy
And making sure it all fits before sending away
Next problem Opps I mean challenge.
I bought a very nice billet gsxr 1100 rear caliper hanger and a used gsxr 1100 caliper but the caliper weighed the same as a semi detached house so it went in the bin.
I bought a Brembo caliper to match the fronts, only problem is the Brembo won’t fit the hanger
But with the caliper sitting on top of the hanger it’s in the correct position for the disc so I’ll just need a bridging plate, simples!
very nice mate!! the guys n gyals on B.W.A have been goin a bit doolaly over your fine work!!!
great job cabbie,bit of a dab hand with the wood work as well:D
great work so far and in jelous over your dymag wheels
Great craftsmanship.
i don’t know anything about bikes, so forgive my ignorance… but why would you use wood parts for this? how durable can they be?
You are joking arn’t you?
:D:P:D:P:D
You’d farking hope so !!
to avoid rust! :hehe:
awesome work, looks factory.
As long as it’s kiln dried Oak from a mature highland wood forest it should be fine. Don’t forget to use a good linseed oil to stop the rust. 
Just what we were about to say - you beat us to it. It also stops those “clunk” ing noises you get now and again;)
Don’t you wished you had switched your brain on before posting, that has made my night :D:D:D:D
As the OP is modifying his bike with parts from other motorcycles not everything fits so he has to make adapter plates from scratch. The OP is obviously better at working with wood* than metal so he makes up a model in wood for a metalworker to copy. Which you would know if you read the words in the OP instead of just looking at the pretty pictures 
*or, just wood is an easier material to work with in order to make a model.
why you giggling they still make barges out of wood:P
p ss off:D
The Billet parts are going to be a while so thought I’d make a start on the seat unit.
After many hours of looking at seat units I’ve decided on the Honda RS 125 race bike unit
Just need to make this look factory fitted now :LolLolLolLol:
I don’t like the flat top tank with the round seat unit so I’m going to sculpt the tank with a round profiled top.
The subframe is going to be bling bling 
And as we’re all ecomentalists these days, make sure its from a sustainable oak christmas tree forest. So you can only make these bits at christmas time.
