Coco said:The "huge" front drum on the Norton, pictured in your avatar is relatively the same size in diameter as GP's disc set. Mind you, GP's discs would probably a lot more grabby than your drum.

I don't think I have ever seen this on a motorcycle .

I really appreciate the offer , but I am satisfied with my current mc setup :
Maybe GP could use it ?
Nortonspeed : that's the cleanest lathe I've ever seen !
( not to mention the floor ! )
grandpaul said:Mounted up a freshly chromed set of pillion pegs to use temporarily as quasi-rearsets, then mocked up the rear brake master cylinder (the one without the reservoir). I just used a plate that came with a set of cable-operated brake reasets, I still need to fabricate a clean mounting plate with the holes drilled to allow better orientation of the plunger shaft, and clearance from the muffler-

grandpaul said:Decided to install my crossover headers and "Bean Can" annular discharge mufflers; this is just a mock-up to check the rear brake master cylinder setup, it didn't work at all (back to square 1 on that one) -

Note the Buss automatic circuit breaker added to the top input lug; perfect setup.
