Thats a great project John and very well done. The Deauvillle wheel a necessary finishing touch. Mind you don't go over the handlebars now!

I must admit though, those crash bars look a lot better than the Hepco and Becker ones.....  I'm tempted to buy some..... |

the front pad are still bedding in when i took it up to 60 and pulled the front brake in it stopped in a straight line and the tank stopped my outher bit,s (rember not to pull the brake so hard next time )
feels better on the road run,s straight i took it up to about 60~70mph and took my hands off the bars for a short time smooth,
now the bad bits the cost
compleat front cbr 600 f2 front end ebay £80 + £35 petrol reading
rebuilt front end seal,s/bush,s?fork oil new £114
recon caliphers (old ones shot) £75
twin braied lines ( ebay ) £35
deauville wheel £21 +£25 petrol london
tyre changed to new wheel £15
sub total £340 +£60
total cost doing the work myself. £400 £
i think thats it
and many hours out the garage
would i do it again YES
regards
( one skint )
outlaw
ps, off to rob a bank for the next work on the bike

Very tidy job Outlaw,
looks smart as a sixpence.
I wonder if your insurance company will give you a discount for having improved brakes and handling?
thanks for sharing with us all.

Sorted the front brakes out yesterday as the lever always came back to far, bleed the guts out of it no joy, when talking to a deauville i noticed his master cylinder was bigger than mine,that was the problem, so i now have a deauville master cylinder on mine what a diffreance it made only a few mins to bleed it and does it stop now,
