What are the others reged as? Is there an "Alternative-Fuel Motorcycle" category?

Think it's a 'non-petrol motorcycle' category, like diesels but I think exempt from diesel miles for now. This is all going from memory of a few years ago when it was all ums and ahs and 'I'll call some other bloke to check' probably more organised now.

[p.dath]

That is very impressive. You have done a great job.

[Laava]

Awesome dude. Can I suggest an iceblock stick [or spatula?] in the spokes?

[ducatilover]

That's bitchin'!!!!!!!!

[imdying]

You're my hero!

There's only 3 spokes though! Maybe a ram-air duct to a whistle instead

[4AGE]

Thats fricken awesome.
Good work!

It'll sound like a one lunger!

A momentus day today, broke the 100km distance traveled mark, and hit 68kmhr (indicated)

I've also bee noticing this is awesome for roundabouts, well low COG means it turns in easy, and no low rpm driveline chatter means it's piss easy going smooth as. Be wicked fun to gymkhana I reckon.

On another note, the brakes are still pretty shit, do pads lose their grip after a long time? cos they have had bugger all use for a decade, but plenty of meat left on em.

Let me try the brakes so I stop thinking my big as fuck twin four pots are shit
It is possible, try sanding the disk and pad? There may be a bit of a glaze or something.
Or, I have two spare front discs, two four pot calipers with good pads and one twin pot caliper + rear disk, but the seals are munted.
Take your pick, or throw them on the bros, you know you want to.

Haha, was going to give it another, and possibly last, test run today, but I'm think postponed due to precipitation, rides should be available soon.
Might give em a sand, I also think we put some drum shoes in the oven once to do a similar thing. Or I could just get some new ones, doesn't sound cheap though...

Trouble is the bros won't take another disk with the stock rims, and I like my egg-beater rims

Measure between the bolt holes, I'm fairly sure the Bro is 68mm center to center, if you we could throw a proper caliper on it. you know you want real brakes The ZZR calipers have the same bolt spacing as a VTR1000, which to my knowledge was the same spacing as the CB, which in turn had the same caliper (Just two of 'em)

I'll probably get the shits when I find there's no engine braking haha

I'd have to go to my uncle's place to measure the bros forks, mind you the ZXR250C ones could be the same. I have 4 pots on there anyway though, and 310mm disc iirc, so not sure the ZZR ones would offer any benefit?

I thought the Bros had twin piston on the front? A sliding one, exactly the same as a VT250 Spada
I do think my brakes are shit though...

Nah bros is a 4 pot, but the hawks are all twin pots floating calipers. So you can't use a hawk disc on a bros, which is annoying as it means bros discs are more expensive, and less cool looking.
