Cb550 cafe ready to ride

I think he means that there isn't enough slack in the front brake lines to the caliper so that if the front end unloads fully it stretches the brake lines. On a braided line, unlike a rubber line, the metal sleeve is stretched and doesn't contract leading to eventual brake failure. You don't really want that kind of stretching on a rubber line either but on a braided line it's particularly bad. On a lot of bikes the front fender usually holds a loop where the line is allowed to move through as the suspension moves without coming in contact with the tire or wheel or any other parts, on this bike no front fender means he has fixed the line to the fork leg which contributes to the stretching.

but you are right he could have found a nicer way to say it.

Otherwise this is a pretty well done motorcycle, and I usually hate bikes with USD forks on it because they screw up the geometry. It doesn't have any mirrors or an inner fender, but there are a pretty decent amount of quality parts on it. I'm not sure why he went with the comstar wheels though.

the brake lines will be conststantly rubbing on the tire, they will get crushed against the lower yoke on the last bit of travel a nice warm sticky tire will be doing a good job of taking hoses with its rotation worst case the zipties snap and if the =hoses are pulled forward enoogh to go over center they may grab the tire enough to cause some unwanted friction event ,seriouslly distracting the pilot causing a hedge trimming event ala a corner overshoot
see the zip tie on the stanchion is going to bow the line inwards to contact tire
onto the chain slack issue, you need a huge amount of slack in the chain with shocks that long
it looks as if you have a normal amount of slack like if you adjusted it too the guidlines in the manual
the way it is now shit is gonna go haywire,something has got to give and it wont be pretty
