750ss Cafe Racer. First time project

Discussion in 'Builds & Projects' started by FlatLine, Mar 10, 2012.

  1. Wheel bearings sorted
    Mine has an older wheel type. Wider (16mm not 12mm) bearings, so no spacers required and it has a shorter internal spacer

  2. As I get my 91 ss750 back together there's some bits hiding from me. Perhaps someone can help?
    The front brembos are being refurbished but i can't find the little o rings the fit between the two halves of the calipers
    Has anyone sourced these before?
     
  3. Where do these fit and what are they for PXL_20260227_171252459.jpg
     
  4. they are the place that carb breather fumes go to live. On a new bike you will see several tubes head there but they are often displaced or missing altogether.

    lower picture only visible when you "quote" it, sorry.
     
  6. Thanks, Chris is it ok to leave then off? Run the tube down to the bottom of the frame?
     
  7. yes, you could run to bottom of frame, and is exactly what other production bikes have done as standard practice. :upyeah:

    The bike is coming along nicely, mainly because a friend is putting it back together, whilst I refurbish 2x vtr1000 and a cbf000.
    I'm doing the finding stuff and repairing stuff on the Ducafe Racer

  13. At the moment, I'm not going to use the rev counter
    Is it just a case of blocking the hole on the engine?
     
  14. Yep, you can source a plug and retaining plate and screw from a monster.
     
  15. Thanks for that, any particular monster?
     
  16. Some recent photos PXL_20260510_082050493.jpg PXL_20260510_082041713.jpg

  18. M900, I don't think the smaller ones had the hole machined in the casting.
