    Looking good , if you are not in a hurry for disc's , I have some buttons to convert to floating discs and you can have new outers laser cut .
    If not , then have a look at Tyga , they have a stainless steel disc you may like .

    Currently in the process of assembling the rest of the bike, minus the engine. All the standard parts are going back on for now, until I get it re-vinned. Just trying out the tank and it appears to be too long for the frame. No wonder why it wasn't bolted on when I got it. A bit of investigation through the parts manual shows that it's actually an MC18 tank. Guess I'll just improvise a mounting solution until I build the custom sub-frame.

    On another note, I ordered some discs from Oz. Almost $200 less than here after shipping!

    Installed, and the system bled. Just the rear sets to go, and we have a fully functional roller.

    Old discs don't look good. They've got big u-shaped grooves worn into them.

    Actually I think it would be possible. I'm gonna get it done and see how it turns out. May as well try, as the cylinder is scrap as it is anyway.

    They all seem to do that.

    How thin are they at the worst point?
    Mine were looking 'not good' before the last 3 years of hard use, I'm thinking I should get some less rooted ones soon...

    They look to be about 3.45 mm at the bottom of the groove. They're yours if you want em.
