While waiting for some parts i can't move on with assembly, so i'm working on components.
Today i rebuilt the master brake cylinder,i cleaned and painted the m/c some time ago so it was ready for work.
laid out the rebuild kit according to the assembly order
Piston installed
After securing the c clip in place all that's left is to install the dust rubber and that's it.
next will be the caliper but i need to paint it first.

Very nice, what paint did you use for the caliper?

It's suppose to be automotive paint,there's a place that put's it in a spray can for you.
but time will tell if it's durable.

Cool. I used some caliper paint in a can which looked great sprayed on, but when I baked it it started to flake off and the caliper now looks exactly as it did before...

My shift linkage was lousy, actually i had one shifter with the heim attached and the part the sits on the shaft itself had only the ball.
so today grounded the joints from the shifter and arm and i'm going to use "Rod Ends" instead.

I did something similar, but used heim joints from a hobby store instead.
So far they're holding up well.

Small update,
Finally got few small parts that took ages to arrive, so i can start putting the bike back together.
I was hoping to finish the front fork and wheel as well, but couldn't get the lower stearing bearing on the shaft no matter what, i'll have to find a machine shop with a press for that.

Finally, after many months and fairly slow progress the bike is back on two wheels.
I filled the forks,tightenend all the bolts and installed the front wheel (had a small issue with the dust seal, but it's all good now)

Good night

Looking good Eran!
For what it's worth, I love those style wheels. I looked for them here in the U.S., and couldn't find them at all.

Haha.....I couldn't afford the shipping.....
Besides, they wouldn't be an upgrade to my current wheels. But they sure do look nice.
