CB1 from Germany.

Hi,
From the above pic i noticed you have raised the tailpiece. And despite of having that raised tailpiece, you still can lean and drag your knee. Can you share on how you raise the tailpiece.
Cheers.

I did in in tow Steps.

Step one was to disassemble the Rearshock and put a little spacer between Spring and Shock, then I assempled the whole Thing in that way that the Shock is 1cm longer than before. And I use a Hyperpro-Spring (from Ebay).

Step two was to cut a lot of Plastic at the Tail and put  little Spacers below the Tail and the Seat so that the whole Thing is 5cm higher than before. If you take a deeper look near to my Numberplate you can see the 2 Screws that hold the black Plasticpart that (that is missing at my Bike)
Look here:


Yeah I know - it's dirty at the Pic - but this was one of the first Pics this Year after playing with a lot of Tools...

Hi.  Where did you get your grips from? I love them!

[theplumber]

the site where i could find the bar kit and grips is here

http://www.streetfightersinc.com/HandleBarRiserKits.htm

one of few things on here that fit a cb1.

[Falk]

The Risers are from ABM http://www.ab-m.de/de/produkte/superbike-umbau/superbike-kits

The Handlebar is a 22mm (no Idea what it is in inch) Aluminium Handlebar from Spiegler http://www.spiegler.de/de/produkte/superbike-umbau/lenker-und-lenkerendstuecke

Spiegler and ABM are producing the same things so everything fits to each other.

The grips are from Rizoma http://www.rizoma.com/Prodotti/ProdottiUniversal.cfm?ID_categoria=6&IDSez=1

I bought the  Riser-Kit and the Handlebar at Ebay, so if you can't find Products near to you it's maybe worth to take a look at Ebay for a shop that provides world wide shipping...

Hey Falk, lovely bike man, really nice.

You let me know when you come to sell it and i'll nip over buy it and ride it back from Germany!

Can you just tell me the part number for the riser kit please?
I think this is it right?: CB 1 400 NC27 1989 AA 0229 215-10291-11 149,00 thats 149 euro correct?

Cheers 

[Falk]

Yep that's right... 215-10291-11  is the partnumber...
0229 is the Partnumber of the recomended handlebar in this case a SB Handlebar (but I think of using a streetbar that is a little bit lower...)

You can may look here for the ABM-Parts http://www.998cc.com/

Please give me some more info on the headlight(s) and fairing. I don't mean to copy but my front light has been err umm... a little tweaked and would like to replace with duals.

Any info would be great (i.e. website, etc).

Thanks all, and btw. gorgeous -1!

I bought mine at Hein-Gericke but you can get them at every big Bike-Part-Dealer in Europe (for Example in Germany Hein-Gericke.de polo-motorrad.de louis.de )


The fairing is a Custom-Buell Fairing from E-Bay


BtW.: I changed back to Normal Frontlight with another Fairing this Year - Pictures will follow when the Paint Job is done...

Nice bike. I didn't know Deutschland was so strict.

Hi Guys,
short update about my CB1.
Frame is painted with spraycans from Motip in a color that is 99% looking like the original Iron Nail Silver.
I started to put all together.
Forks are in, nearly all electrical parts are in place.

Fuel tank needs to get some color and I think I have to do the white stripes at the fairing again. Because of the angle of it, it looks like the stripes are getting smaller to the top.

Update will follow...

[Falk]

Paintjob at the Tank and Tail is done. It's painted with Spraycan. So now I need to sand it and polish it.
.
Hopefully this Summer I have all done. But now I need to prepare for some Final Test in 2 Weeks - so no Time to build at the Bike.

Hi Falk,

that blue is beautiful, much like the original blue mine is, but somehow more brilliant.

Whose colour is it?

thanks,
Aaron

[Falk]

It's a SEAT-Color LS5N. I took the Motip Spray 53991.
I coated it with 3 Times Clear Varnish. Now sand it and polish it.

For non European Guys SEAT = Spanish Car Maker - Part of VW
