That fork set does indeed look awesome together with all that black!

looking great, but why the hell did you use that Tamiya tubing for the brakes? I think you should switch them if possible.

oops.... well, first I tried shrink tube but I couldn't quite get them down to the same size ALL the way and I hate the way they curve.... actualy they don't....

I mean they just break and turn sharply
then I tried some 0.6mm wires but I found those too thin next to the 0.45mm wires which goes up next to them from the sensors.
I'd prefer tubes something around 0.8 mm but I couldn't fine any... so I had to stick with those Tamiya tubes...

I'll find some better ones for my next one bike!!
Cheers,
T

I'd say .4 mm for throttle and .6 mm for brake and clutch wire are meassurements that are in scale.

Cheers Joel, I'll keep that in mind for my next build!

I won't change this one though, those hoses will hardly be visible at the end anyway! thanks again!

Great build! nice and clean!........Please change the hoses! unless your next build is the same bike!

My problem is that I detail parts which cannot be seen, but the parts that can, look blah! But I know they are there!
