Nice work so far! Youre in a bit of a corner with the height of your brake pedal unless you can countersink the bolt that it hits against. Either that or slice a bit off the end of your lever - im sure you will be able to find a way. I had some nice Harris rearsets fitted to my Bandit 1200. They were multi adjustable and after a lot of tweaking I got a really nice setup on that bike, very comfortable indeed - and looked the business. Id like to see some pictures of the CL - thats another trail bike isnt it? Nick |

Brass Machine, carbon fiber? Awesome! I think I'm going to rock a center stand on this bike. It'll look cool, and let me hand start the bike. Madnick, My plan on the brake pedal was to mill a flat bottomed hole around the nut, make a large, flat, round nut with a couple holes in the top, and use a pin wrench to tighten it up. Obviously there are easier ways, and if I ever build another set of these they will have the cross brace redesigned to be less intrusive. I also have some ideas for adjustable pedal angles. Live and learn! The CL360 is a scrambler. It's basically a CB360 with more fender clearance, side mounted exhaust, front and rear drum brakes, and off-road handlebars. It may have a slightly longer suspension travel, not sure. I've got it set up for 90/10 riding, 90% road, 10% trail. I've wanted one of these bikes forever, and I got mine on craigslist for $500. $1000 worth of work later, and it runs great! That's new tires and fork seals, new wiring harness, clutch, carb cleaning, valve adjustment and tuneup, new handlebars and grips, etc etc etc. EDIT: I've realized the main problem with the brake is that you are pushing it backwards while you are moving forwards. So the harder you press it, the harder you are moving away from it. :) Adjusting the angle a bit will help. It will, of course, require a new pedal. I think I'm going to skip it for some time. Frankly, this bike is so light I rarely use the rear brake anyway, I just engine brake. |

Well, I got the rear light sorted out. No pics, cause it's ugly and temporary, but it works! I also mounted the license plate. So now it's street legal, woohoo! Took it for a longish ride yesterday, and it was great! The only issue was that I dragged my toe once while trying to upshift in a turn. I decided to raise the front suspension back to the stock position, which should stop that from happening. My seat pan is no longer horizontal, but so what? Anyway, I'm very pleased. After I've made sure it's safe, I'm going to hit the highway and see if there's any increase in top speed with the fairing and new riding position. |
