Thanks for that Domiracer, I remeasured as you suggested and comfortably got 128 but the 130 has a bit of outward pressure to reach. Mmmm... wondering if a bit of wear and tear/use would soon loosen this up. Not wanting to have wasted my money on Johns kit and my bottom ertalon bushes Ive made. All in the quest to improving them Roadholders!

Thanks for the approval of the shave job done on the uppers, when you cut the bar supports away, you're left with small holes to fill, these were bronzed up, sanded, then coated with brake calipre paint and baked(looks like powdercoat).

The Norton "N" is aluminium engraved, real gold leaf applied then clear coated, JB Weld holds that all in place even though it was a tap in fit.

Apology for the high jack Jean

That Yamaha front brake sure looks good, but it is twice the price of the Grimeca.

Yes, it's nice but out of my play money budget so I'm back to my first choice and I will be buying the Grimeca, unless I suddenly win a bucketful of cash which is very unlikely!
