It always amazes me the way people try to overcome the fact that they should buy longer brake lines :roll:

I think he means Succumbed.

Looks much better with two discs Piggy, more balanced.

About time too Mark :P

Have to agree with Rich though.... Surely a man of your talent can make a less obtrusive splitter bracket :?:
C'mon, that's a perfect job for piss wet bank holiday Monday.
I expect to see the pics posted later :wink:

Apart from the fact that it is a poxy bit of angle with no thought of aesthetics and you could have made it so much neater by just drilling a bit of 1/2" square bar in three places.

Then again you have probably looked at that and thought these brake lines are too short to allow me to do that I'll just have to mount the splitter half way down the forks so they reach the callipers!!!!! Raise the front end so the forks are on full extension and then you will see what I mean. :twisted:


P.S. put the nut back on the front axle as well :D

OK :??

I've got 1 x single line long enuff - and didn't have another n me box of spares :!: I'll get another line this week and just have 2 x singles :wink:

The front axle is proper - just modified as the thread was getting a bit worn in the fork leg - but it's 100% sound :lol:

If you put the nut on it'll hold it better on that side - lock it up nice and tight :D

Its an allen bolt - the axle is hollow and has a thread in it and has a nice 1-off washer by GB. Thanx anyhow :wink:
