Project FT500 needs...



A small front brake reservoir from a modern MX bike. Can anyone help us out, please? We've seen one on a Kawasaki 250 that looks great, but I'm sure most of them have these type. Email dirt @ sideburnmagazine.com (take out the spaces) if we can do a deal, please.

Below are shots of the build. Carl at CFM is doing the business. It's had a new sub-frame and all the welds are smoothed in. The forks are from a TDR250 and we're having a custom front disc made and new rear shocks. And, hopefully, a Death Spray Custom paintjob. Looking good, eh?
The engine's in now.

    Looks better than any old FT has the right to. What a transformation. Good job boys.

    I've got a 19mm Braking radial M/C with an incorporated reservoir. If that could work let me know.

    the smoothed over welds are a nice touch! compared to the spattered/goobery OEM ones, this will give your frame a really pleasant line to follow...

    i also like the wheels.

    Honda uses the same nissan front master on CR80-CRF450's for years
    I've used them from ebay on two SR 500 buils with zero issues.

    Can you point us to a photo of one of them, on your bike please? Did the mag and T-shirt arrive before the volcanic plume shut Europe down?
