Wait till ya get ya calliper, need to line it up so the disc will sit right before making the spacers.

 i was going to get 2 spacers made exactly the same as standard incase i mess one up lol atm im lineing it all up for the sm wheel and makeing the bracket for my brembo twin pot.

 

found out my college has a press XD so hopefully i can use it if its a strong one and see if bradders can get me a collor my forks should be exactly the same as his so i really hope he still has the mesurements lol 

oh **** toyman thos rusty stantions are ****ed m8 even if u clean every bit of rust off its gonna leave low spots n wen u compress the fork, oil is gonna bleed out, the alloy parts can be saved tho, i should be able to sort them out at home no probs, ill ask at work tomoz if they know wer i can get the legs re- chromed cheaper thn tht, they might be alright if there blasted, the old chrome taken right back n re done im not 100%

the only way is YAMAHA DTR wrote:

what if you strip the forks and powder coat the alluminium part and get the tubes re chromed, honestly you should be able to find somewhere to chrome them for less tha £25

mate i dont live with that rule i just cut haha nar say if i know how far i want to cut it ill cut it 10mm longer then go in with the file or dest grinder and make it nice and even i dident really make it that even but this was just a bodge lol when i get some new padding im going to clean and smoth over the end part might even grind of the paint on the top and try and polish that or do it a difrent coulor lol

look at this sexyness XD

this sounds a bit silly and not sure as i used the bike to go to my nans with standard on takes the hole some of 20 seconds to get there haha but it feels like the gear lasts longer and it pulls better? sounds silly lol

i gave a 10mm space from the bracket then wraped some black electrical tape around the with a rule i checked it was the same spaced from the end to the line and it was then cut with a cuting disk 10mm from the tape then put the grinding disk on and went down to the line then peeled the tape off filed the burs off.

useing the part i had cut off with the holes i placed them butted togeather and mesured the space from the end to the rivit hole was 0.8th of a inch i think then mesured the 0.8th of a inch inwalds form the hole and placed a dot then with a 3mm drill bit drilled the holes placed the end in banged some 3mm self tappers in and jobs a gooden lol i only had 3mm last night went and got some 6mm and 8mm this moring so when i re pack it im going to drill the hole bigger and bang some 6mm's in

Looking good mate. What paint did you use on those rear panels?
