New guy to Buckets

It's easier to spin up a disc spacer of the exact thickness than make caliper adaptor plates. The benefit also is that the caliper doesn't end up trying to twist around the fork with being mounted so far inboard.

The Aprilia spacing is 65mm post pic and how much did you pay?

$40 but its a left and no pins.
It's nice and Gold though and its looks like i will have to rob the cr500 for its one. Actually i should measure up the adapter on the CR500.
I see there is a guy selling adaptor plus brembo for a NF4 on Ebay but too dear for me.

okay if the caliper is new... maybe not so bad i guess but still not in my current revised budget.

That would have been a good idea but the nissan spaces are 80mm and the aprilia forks are 65mm and also the angles were incorrect on the mounts. The caliper mount lower is infront and below the aprilia mount and the top is further away from the fork to make it line up.
with the rsv1000 front axel being 25mm and the design being for a large bike im hoping to have no twist issues.

Nice. I have fork mounts on both sides and could have flipped the wheel and reversed the tire.

That's something interesting as well why do most (ok a lot) bikes with single disk have the caliper on the left when the MC is on the right so they could have made the routing shorter? ESP dirt bikes whats up with that?

if its any good to ya you can have it for $40

It looks more like a CHrembo knock off mate; look at the casting.... $25 USD each... not 275...

If its ok ill run the next round and PM you if im not happy with the way the bike stops. Even with a short 2 finger brake lever and rubber line soon to be braided it was stopping good before the fork conversion. I have a angry wife now also she has worked out the $400 budget just hit 2.5k so far plus the guard at 250 if I get that and a carb at 150 also. I just dont feel brave enough to mention another part unless you take paypal,visa or paynow and she wont see the purchace for a while.

Backing up a few posts I've run both with and without front guards in the rain and the difference in the amouNt of water is astounding, enough difference that with the front guard you have better visibilty and can concentrate more on not falling off than wiping your visor.

I think with the bt39s the water would come up in a nice straight line for my face due to the centre tread line being straight through the tire centre. Its a good spot for sponsors name also. Where does one get a bucket racing sponsor from?

I went to my old sponsors who were paying $700 per round on tires and they just looked at me and said "Buckets??".
I think they may have been thinking of keg racing or something similar.
I tried to explain with corp sponsorship i could have 37+ hp and get a top 10 finish in b grade.

Original sponsor followed by new sponsor/umbrellor girl/budget advisor.

I did get my hair cut. You should have seen me 2 years ago lol.
I got the stock april guard for 120 including freight.

Looks like theres only 2 ways to get money for me now. Ones as a electrician and the other is from my only sponsor using cunning technique(erectrician).
