I like the 69/70 DT1 in the background. Looks like a nice complete bike except missing the mirror. Nice!

From some sifting through brake rotors on Ebay, I figured out that the rotors on the bike are from a cbr f4i. I don't know yet if the bolt pattern and the center hole is the same, or if some machine work was done. It does appear to be a stock H series hub. I'll take a guess on the calipers and say that they were from a pre radial brake gsxr 600 or 750. The caliper adapters look like some very nice cnc jobs.

I would still like to know how much machine work was needed to get this to all work. If you look closely at the hub there looks like there are somekind of machine marks on the edge where the rotor sits(inbetween every mounting bolt).
