How did you do the magnet setup with those? I've not really put any thought into it yet, hopefully now I don't have to! :)

[mart]

ive made a carrier bracket to fit on the rear disc and will drill through the brake caliper mount ala ducati 999 style but for the moment ive just epoxy resioned them into the disc buttons which is cr@p because i cant get them equaly spaced so it reads kind of weird it tends to jump 1 mph either way of the proper speed but it will do for the moment ill post up the carrier bracket template soon although i think it might be different for the curvy. also could you tell me how you have set up your dampining front and rear roughly speaking (eg front compression hard rebound soft rear comp soft rebound hard) im still not trusting the bike over a ton

thats a shame ben as it look like you do quite a good job. im having trouble spraying up a set of lowers so am not looking forward to spraying the bike complete

[northwind]

Easier to spray the whole bike, I found! If you have 2 panels that look different, one great and one average, that's worse than having the whole thing look average (my grandad was a military-greade bodger, he taught me that "Better to have loads of scratches all pointing the same way, than a few scratches all over the place- looks meant if you do it my way" :)

Hmm, my galfer wavy won't take the magnets like that. Might look at the sprocket carrier.

[mart]

mine is on a gaffer disc

[northwind]

Hmmmmmmmm. Need to take another look at that then :) Mine has 5 arms but not an awful lot of metal, I didn't think I'd be able to fit them properly.

[mart]

ill post the template up when i find it the bracket itself is getting made up. but it fits inside the disc arround the spindel mounted by 3 of the disc fixings

[northwind]

Oh, I get you! Sorry, I was being really dim there.

[tomtwinmad]

hey mart , your bike looks smart
