Haha. When you say "sold a OLD front end off a OLD road race bike". Some of us antique bike guys don't invasion A 2005 motorcycle....
That's what I was thinking. Was having visions of my OLD Ceriani front end on my 71 S2R racebike. Long gone now...
Nice looking project you have going. Those cracks were the same ones I saw in the sleeved cylinder I looked at this weekend on a bike that was a possible trade for my CB900F. After adding up the cost to fix the damage I decided to pass on it. Just out of curiosity, what does it cost to fix those cracks and replate? And that begs the question, is it better to have it replated, or sleeved?
