I think for me the Revere is a great bike, but two discs has to be better than one. Looking forward to seeing her close up. I would like to polish the forks though (but it would be a big effort) Do you still have your old forks for spares, or did you need to use any of the parts?

Awesome job!! :-)
I was thinking about buying those wheel reflector stripes for my red NTV, now i'll definitely go for them. Just one question, why are you blocking the radiator?
What about braking distance with the improved suspension and twin disks? Does it give a good braking feeling?

I agree with Pata. Great Job and the pictures were worth the wait. Does your mudguard make contact with a wall now before your break light? Almost did for mine again today at work. This project is going on the website but this pic will be the first thing I shall load to build anticipation.

HI it felt a lot more controled when i pulled the lever hard on it should be better when the pads wear in, i only blocked it when i was useing it in the cold weather as the temp gauge was only moving a small bit 1/8 movment it now goes up a bit higher mind you when i bought the front wheel he give me all the junk he had left from his deuiville looking through it i found, all the water pipes with the therostat in and a few cables, odd and sods, john

actually that looks very good... breakdown of costs would be handy for reference... also where you source the parts ( like e-bay ) will give others an estimate of what it will cost them.
only other thing to know is... how do they perform ?

Looking great, as Pata says, a breakdown of costs might be useful Have I followed progress correctly:
CBR600 forks and calipers? Deauville Front Wheel? Standard at the back (wheel and caliper)?

I think this has been an interesting project and one I suspect other members will consider, or if like me possibly just dream/plan for one day. Thanks for the detail and now specific costs Outlaw. I have copied the cost details to the initial post as I suspect over time the costs will get buried in the middle of this thread.

i just bought pan euro front end off fleabay..good tyre and pads on as well..not 100% sure it will fit but will put pics up if it does..think it may need fork seals doing first..as seals,pads and tyre needs changing on mine anyway was worth the gamble

Sorted the front brakes out yesterday as the lever always came back to far, bleed the guts out of it no joy, when talking to a deauville i noticed his master cylinder was bigger than mine,that was the problem, so i now have a deauville master cylinder on mine what a diffreance it made only a few mins to bleed it and does it stop now, outlaw
