Is that the right way round Will?

Surely attaching the torque arm to the frame will create the 'dippy' effect.

Right...

I've ordered a Tokico 2-piston caliper from a GSXR 750 SRAD (also fits ZZR1100, TL1000, ZXR 400/750 and others) and a hanger from a ZZR1100 to see how they fit.

I think I'll need to get a disc made by ISR or elsewhere, rebush the hanger and fabricate a rose-jointed torque arm.... but the project is underway!

I've bought a Dresda swing arm off ZPar1 with the torque arm mount underneath. I've got a 530 chain conversion to do at the same time, so I'll have some work on my hands.
