My CBR600f3 Rebuild

Love what you've to the engine pal, might do it myself when this bike gets a bit older.

 

That is this weekends job, im so excited

 

Those tubes kind of remind me of,

 

Yeah, i was considering routing the exhaust up under there. But i need the storage

 

I got my fork lowers powdercoated.. But when i got them back he seems to have sandblasted them all over even on the inside...!
The powdercoat job isn't great tbh, probably wouldn't use them again.

Whats the general consensus on this? When i run my finger on the inside of the fork im left with a chalky residue on my finger..

Degreaser on a rag wrapped around a broom stick to clean it out?

 

What should they feel like inside? Smooth as a babies arse? Ive never gone out my way to feel inside one before..?

 

I've never gone out of my way to feel inside of a babies arse either.

 

I leave that to Ian Watkins tbh, but I value your post, I did laugh
Should they be super shiny polished up? Or just smooth metal?

Ive cleaned them up inside and there is no chalky reminisce when i use my finger when I run a white cloth it comes out super clean..

 

Perhaps next time I do fork seals on my other bike ill dip a finger in..
Tbh putting a super white microfibre cloth in and then out again on a broom and its clean, i think its alright..
Shining a torch down, it looks smooth, so im just going to go ahead and start putting them together..
Once the wheels are on and its back on the ground ill take some more pics

 

Done..
Need to tidy/shorten the gaiters..

 

The frame is holographic flake:
Ignore the chipped cam cover, i dropped something on it, and I'm going to redo it at some point

 

Renthal bars fitted.
Removing it from the bench tomorrow morning and fitting wheels, it should look more bikey then.

Then gotta refit carbs and do all the wiring. I love wiring though

Ill take some pictures tomorrow

 

Still a long way to go, and Ill get some nice pictures when its done.
but so far;

 

Done some more work fitted a throttle cable and a clutch cable from a hornet.
Waiting for my braded front lines.
Few bits to tidy up, and mirrors to add.



Gonna lower the headlights abit too after looking at that picture i think..!

 

Do you have leaky oil seals hence the shock dust protectors as most station are not allowed to touch them lol

 

I changed the oil seals they are brand new
They are there because I had them lying around lol!
But thats nice to know.. Lol, ta smudge..!
