the little block/spacer that you have is fine in aluminium ,but if i need a full plate,ie to convert from two holes on the fork to two completely different holes for the caliper I would be worried that
A) it would need to be stiff to make sure the caliper stays on the cl of the disc,and fatigue resistance .Your adapter relies on the integrity of the original lower caliper mount.
B)I dont know about the merits of heat conducting via the caliper adapter to the fork.I guess it cant be any worse (or different from the stock setup

I looked last night interested in the sale but absolutely no interest in buying IYKWIM

I took a drawing in to an engineering shop. He reckoned he could do 10 for $290 in Ali or 10 for $350 in Stainless.
Apparently there isn't alot of difference in labour time between doing 5 or 10- maybe only 0.5 to 1hr. So 5 would cost about $50-60 each.

He is an avid motorcylclist himself (Ducatiista) & knows the Brembo single pot brake calliper.

Anyways I've got to find myself a calliper first before I get the adaptor made so it may not happen immediatey.
If you are dead certain you want one can you please PM me so I can keep a record of who wants one.

I guess this means everyone will be looking for callipers now & they'll hit the $500 mark
Cheers

I definitely want one, & am looking for this sooner rather than later. I think Ali will be fine.

any good to buy to be pulled to bits to sell parts

[Padmei]

While I'm waiting to find a cheap (not gonna pay $200) calliper & get adaptors made I was wondering if there is someone with a spare front stock caliper in their shed that I could borrow for a short time?
My original one is poked but would like to get Schmidtty Woffed at least.

I can repay with whatever you choose.

there must be a few of them lying around.!Do the r80 and r100 use the same brakes,the forks are different arent they?
