The best thing I ever done was to replace the whole front brake for a system that works the way it should, life and safty is more important than my Norton looking orginal, I ride 6 to 7 days a week and the mount of car drivers that don't even take notice of motorcycles, I have had 2 crashes in the frist few weeks of my Norton being back on the road because of a front brake system that is old, very poor stopping power even with all the upgrades I did to it in the rebuild still not up to safe standard, I was lucky at the times it was low speed crashes, hate to think what might have happen at high speed and my front brake let me down.
After the second crash and with a frature left arm and broken thumb, I ordered a full Grimicia upgrade, 12" floating disc, Racing Grimicia caliper, Grimicia master cylinder and S/S brake line, this is not the best system on the market but for the money it brings my bike up to moden standards, one or 2 finger operation, I am very happy with this set up and it looks great on my Norton, looks better than the orginal set up, I have been riding my Norton for 37 years now and like to keep riding it for another 37 years.
