while we're on the subject, I read that the Curvy naked and Curvy S have different footpeg positions. Could someone post a picture of the naked ones so I can check the difference between them?

Cheers,
Carl

Spec SRAD 600 or 750, that's the closest match.

Any particular year, i thought all SRAD were the same? As a side question, did you use M5 washers as spacers for your brake calipers? I have warped discs and am not sure whether it has happened on the bike or before i got them! Two on each bolt?

Aye, all the same. Just pick a year, that's what I'd do But don't blame me if they don't fit!

I used some thick M8 washers... I got a mixed bag from a car restorer, "Randomly toleranced washers" they were labelled as, all sorts of thicknesses. Very handy... Think I had about 1mm on each bolt. Don't need them now with the Blade wheel though, strangely it fits better.

So let me get this right. You have one M8 washer on each bolt approx 1mm thick? I have two washers on each bolt that have got to be at least 1mm thick each (maybe I'm spacing them out too much thus knackering the discs?

Something like that... I didn't have the calipers centred incidentally, no need IMO. But I can't really see that spacers would warp discs, unless there was something drastically wrong. What discs and pads did you use?

OEM discs (SRAD) and Carbonne Lorraine A3+ pads. Just received clip-ons (I liked the 'Please do not Bend' )

That's the joy of third-hand ebay jiffy bags Reuse is better than recycle you know, especially when you're a complete skinflint... Though it does backfire, I once accidentally spent £5 to post something to myself, after I forgot to cover over the old address.

That's the exact same pads I use, they don't eat discs to my mind. Are the discs early SRAD, the really thin ones that they stopped using?
