Nice work. Remind me where the mounting bracket came from.

In my experience radial Brembos are beyond amazing. Not sure if it's just my setup but they never feel hard at the lever. With a full fist you can pull the lever back to the bars but... there is never any want or need to. Just very progressive braking with lock the wheel power with one finger.

But.... that wheel colour!

Er ...? Isn't the rear brake hose looking a little tight....

Surely a longer one looping over the top of the swingarm would look a bit better...?

All that machining work to get that back wheel to fit, and all Mac can say is your rear brake line is looking like a clothesline :wink: or something like that :lol:

At least he never noticed the chain is missing :shh: :lol:
