So not an awful lot has happened recently as I’ve not long moved and have got my work cut out with the new place, but yesterday managed to fit a new clutch master cylinder, refit my lightened flywheel and fit a new quick action throttle tube and a lovely new sprocket cover . Hopefully the next couple of weeks I’ll have a bit more progress on the old girl

So last night I managed to pick up a braced swingarm complete with rear wheel and a Brembo rear caliper which I may mess about trying to get to fit, also as it’s there waiting to go it it would have been rude not to buy a nice ohlins rear shock for it?

So it’s been a while since anything has been done what with moving and Christmas etc but Thursday night was a productive evening finally managed to get the radial brembos mounted up.

That doesn't look like it lines up, you might need bigger discs.
It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.
