I finally got round to drilling out the broken/rusted bolt remains & re-tapping - this is to hold the side stand kaboodal




Next is fitting the brakes.... I've gone thru' a few options, this being one that I've now rejected.....



It's a proper MICRON adaptor - converts the forks to use common Nissin 4-pots, etc.

I'm gonna use the lower caliper mount as a direct fit - just need 5mm shaved off the inside to align it - then make a small adaptor lug out of 10mm alloy plate, then JOB DONE I had wanted to get a new lug welded on, but the chap reckons alloy fork sliders will most likely deform/shrink if welded and the fork action may suffer

LOOKS CRAP!!

Just give me the calipers you know it makes sense

Will get them measurements done tonight sorry for the delay, but my stripped frame and swing arm have been at the powder coaters!!

Nice, very nice

Hopefully this will be some help for you.

Of the two shocks I have the HYPERPRO is 280mm eye to eye with a 70mm travel and a hyperpro 0467 spring?
The standard harris de carbon is 270mm with 60mm travel.
On the red pict below
A=The swing arm is 430mm pivot to wheel spindle centre.
D=385 from wheel spindle centre to shock mount center and E= 215mm from the shock mount to swing arm pivot centre.
C= The wheel spindle centre sits vertically at a height of 460mm to the top frame tube (the gap with a 17â€￾ wheel and tyre is 6inches)
B= The total length from the shock mount on the frame to the wheel spindle centre is 615mm.

Bear in mind these are measured with a tape measure so may vary 1-2mm.

Cheers Phil - top job

Piggy,
Just had a message back from HYPERPRO as I enquired what the spring rate was for the Harris unit and this is what they sent.

Hello Phil,

It runs from 160 to 240 n/mm
Since it has quite a range, you should actually be fine if you adjust the spring pre-load

Regards,

Thought the info may be of use for your shock setup

Did a bit to the front calipers..... Ended up trimming approx 2mm off each lower fork lug, then spent an hour hand filing them flat & square to align the calipers square to the discs







As can be seen, the amount relative to the thickness of the lug s minimal. Next I have to make the top bracket..... The mudguard lugs are in the correct place, but only have 5mm bolts - although they are in pairs
