It's got to be worth it though when you look at it. It'd put a smile on my face every time I took off the covers and seen that peeking out
I love it Colin, just love it!! Sometimes the only way to get a dream bike is to build one yourself, and when you aint got much cash there is no other option...lol Save and spend save and spend thats how its been....lol
That's the route i'll be heading down. I honestly couldn't see me getting rid of this bike. I'd rather just get the bike to the way I want it than trade it in and start again.
Same here mate the RR7 I have now has always been much more of a bike than I am a rider, I like a fast blast but thats only part of owning it for me.. If I get to the point this ones too slow or needs more power I may trade up but I KNOW thats not going to happen...lol Bikes running a stock motor so there is some room to move if I do need a little more....lol
A big +1 on that ... thats the way mine is heading . Bit by bit , bolt by bolt , till it matches the picture in my head
Well it seems like im building another bike in the loft, its odd coz it looks just like the one I got in 07..
Nice one Art, its a 'kin disgraceful mess 'tho, clean it next time please, lol! Looks awesome, PIC OF WHOLE BIKE pls, NOW?? Interesting to know what the mount alone cost ya? I am thinking of a 200mm disc & AP mini cal as per my Suzook, hmm...
Will get a pic up soon mate, its still in a few bits in the shed at the mo waiting for last few parts the mount is normally part of the HPK kit 120A44111 etc but the mount can be got if they want to split them up at £135.00 ish on its own... I love the hidden caliper but I do like to use my rear brake I know some don't but its an old habbit from my MX bikes.. if I had the dinky caliper I would burn pads at a right old rate....lol
Evogixer.....You mention that you used "The trusty Dremel" to overcome issues. Can you tell me where you used the dremel as i'm going the same route! Cheers
Hi everybody, Well I know this post is very old now, but I think everything I need to know is here. I would like to fit Brembo rear underslung caliper this winter, and just saw that it's not compatible with 2010 standard wheels. And then I found this post that say it can fit! BUT the pics doesn't exist anymore Does somebody has information about how to fit the Brembo rear underslung bracket to 2010 OEM rear wheel please?
Well I answer to myself after hours of research on the internet, and a few emails to Japan and England......................... If you have aftermarket wheels, you can fit every underslung caliper system you can find. Every bracket and every calipers, because the hub of the wheel will be tinyer than the OEM one. If you have OEM wheels (here I only speak about 2008-2011 blades, I have no certitudes about 2012+ wheels) you can't mount the "standard" casted Brembo rear caliper, because the caliper will hit the wheel's hub. The billet Brembo HPK rear caliper will fit because of its shape. So the problem does not come from the brackets. Only Ladybird provides a bracket that is modded to accept standard Brembo rear caliper. The design of the bracket make the caliper lower than it actually should be, I assume that it results in the fact that the rear rotor is not bitten in all its width (maybe it misses 1 or 2 milimeters...) but that should not really affect rear braking power. The other solution seems to "mod" the caliper. I assume that you can "ovalise" the mounting holes of the calipers with your dremel, and then, with the help of washers, fix it to the bracket, so it will be mounted in a lower position. Just as with the Ladybird bracket. I think it's what this topic talk about.
