Nice work. Remind me where the mounting bracket came from.

In my experience radial Brembos are beyond amazing. Not sure if it's just my setup but they never feel hard at the lever. With a full fist you can pull the lever back to the bars but... there is never any want or need to. Just very progressive braking with lock the wheel power with one finger.

But.... that wheel colour!

the wheel colour.mmmmmm well i went to pick the wheel up and my wheel is that colour and the other wheel for another guy was my colour lol oops. im liking it tho so may just do the rear the same when the tyres done, cant be assed pulling it apart yet again lol.
the brackets i got with the brembos on egay. cost me i think 150 for the brackets and calipers, matched to the 06 blade master i love them, back wheel in the air if you really wana stop sharpish.

Well the big girls back on its wheels. oil change and chain and its good to go more or less, and if the painter gets his finger out for my petrol tank ..

Er ...? Isn't the rear brake hose looking a little tight....

Surely a longer one looping over the top of the swingarm would look a bit better...?

This man never stops. Good work fabio

All that machining work to get that back wheel to fit, and all Mac can say is your rear brake line is looking like a clothesline or something like that

At least he never noticed the chain is missing
