New tail cowl in excellent condition with all the mounting tabs intact ( Thanks Richie! )

That is a great build you have going. I am doing something similar I only hope mine comes out half a good as yours.
 
Kinda no thread yet, mine has been in the cafe stage for the last year.

This winter it is going to become a fighter/cafe/muscle bike. Katana front end, GSXR rear swinger, slanted three spoke rims, 7/11 engine swap, and then a little turbo

I have allot of work to do but seeing your build gives me some inspiration, they wont be the same thing but I love a custom bike and yours looks sweet.
 
Excuse the delayed response..very nice... looking forward to your build
 
Joe,

Looks good, Now that you've got a tail with all tabs take a close look at your seat base and make sure that the sides of the seat won't be pushing down on either the side covers or the tail.

My rubber baby buggy bumpers on the bottom of my Corbin wore down over time and were applying pressure on the side covers. Unfortunately you can't see how much its dropping down from the weight of you sitting on it (unless you had your wife take a pic while your sitting on it). Hopefully your new Sargent won't need any adjustments.

I think your right because when I had the Corbin on there it was really tight on the cowl, which may have lead to the rear tabs braking off.
 
Well just a little bump here, with the 700 project behind me for the most part its time to blow the dust off the 1100 conversion and get it back on track. Here is the current state to bring this thread up to speed...

jwhelan65, Your bikes are LUSH.
Your 1100e was one of my inspirations early on. Have you had a chance to ride it yet with any of your changes?
I am noticing how incredibly easy it is to roll mine around on the radials now, I have a small lip, an inch or so high, going into my shop. Rolling my bike in before usually involved rocking it back and forth to get over this lip if I didn't have the momentum. Now it rolls over it like it isn't even there.
Anywho, I think it will be great to see you wrap up the 1100. Your attention to detail is phenomenal.
Cheers, Erick

Thanks man

Have not had a chance to ride it yet but it does tractor around the garage much easier, much like a new bike. I am hoping to have it on the road by spring.
 
Joe,

The TL1000R rear brake line on my Bandit swingarm is made by Goodridge.

It's between 27"-28". Like I said in my PM its a little long so maybe 26" would be perfect but measure your two lines up and decide.

I don't think I ever had a Bandit master so it was either a GSXR or a ZX12R or a hybrid. I'll have to shoot a pic an post it for you. I had at least three different masters at the time (not including the wife) so its hard to remember now.

Joe, Here is the master cylinder I'm using. On one iteration of brake set ups I revised the 90 degree elbo that receives the fluid from the reservoir, just can't remember if its this one. If this is what yours looks like then its a stock ZX12R master.
