We had mine apart over there having a look, but that was quite some time back so hes probably forgotten what they like inside. He also rebuilt my shock a while back, although its a WP BMW one

HI guys
I picked up the adaptors today & they are a thing of beauty. Must be nice to be an engineer & create such pretty things.

If you PM your address I'll send them out. The final cost was $77.00 incl GSt each + whatever postage is, so more than original cost but worth it I think. If you want I can colour them in with the girls colouring pens to get that anodised look.

They made up a couple more for spares if you know anyone else that wants one.

I wil be filing the ridge down on the calliper this weekend to get them sitting centre of the disc.

I will after next weekend post up some pics of what I've been doing to Schmidtty on the adv thread - if that's what you mean.

that Moto was owned by a pal of mine Bula Bill on here - he traded it on an F650GS (800cc) - nice machine for someone passionate about airheads - tempted myself were in not for Rubber Ducky (my trusty 'leven fiddy)
