    So how much do insurance companies pay for V4 submarines these days?

    And how much for a buyback?

    Holy fuck I can get 6 piston ones on to it? I WANT THAT ONE!

    But, those brackets, will they work on mine or will the forks still need machining?

    It's hard to say, I reckon they need to be precisely measured, and drawn up in CAD, then see what we can do. As it's going to come down to a few mm here and there, eyeballing which way is gonna work best is a bit difficult.

    I'll do the hammer work and buy the beer? I can also do the bolts up.

    Are the old fork and wheel straight enough to get measurements of where the caliper mounts should be relative to the disc and axle? If that's the case I'll just bring my laptop and verniers next time and draw em both up.

    On the right-way-uppers? If we use the spare rim, yes. The old one is....bent I'm sure I can make this work.

    I just have hatched a plan for the future! Will run the ZZR brakes on it, till I can afford/find those ZRX 6 piston fuckers
