must have front brake caliper conversion

Post by agentpineapple »

here's the latest front brake caliper conversion that's a must have...........
for testing purposes it was fitted to a blue bike, but it was deemed insufficient, so it can now only be used on the following colours....
red
silver
black....(all shades)
orange
the colour that shall not be named.....(teal)

Oh yeah silly me not possible for you is it being blue or yellow depending on what bike you haven't broken this week... :wink:

Why, you utter bounder and cad Sir. I challenge you to a duel at dawn. You may use a visciously sharpened piece of fruit whilst I will burden myself with a simple Glock 17, in the interest of fairness obviously... :lol:
