    Twinpot Brake upgrade on 78 Skunk

    Well Chuck78 I do sit corrected.. I went outside and re measured the rotors in the day light and guess what? you were spot on they are 275mm not as I first said 295mm. When I measured the rotors and then contacted a friend he mentioned that there were some 295mm twin discs about so I assumed...

    Twinpot Brake upgrade on 78 Skunk

    Just a quick question. Offering one of the brackets with caliper attached to the fork it looks like will fit with the original rotor. Is there a reason it can't be used? I do have a slight ringing bell in the back of my mind but can't for the life of me remember if there was a good reason for it...

    Twinpot Brake upgrade on 78 Skunk

    Just so everyone knows this is a bringing the build up to date thread. Another loom was purchased and fitted (without the extra green wire..) and another stator was also bought. There are more and as they come to mind I will let you know or Ian will. I have a picture of the bike when Ian...

    I mentioned near the beginning of the build the wiring. More specifically the use of green wire. Some green wire.. possibly attached here or possibly not.. Also can you spot the repair? A bigger picture may help. There any a number of gems like this and I believe Ian...

    Thanks for the comments ;) and I will be having a look at your face book page Richard. The more observant of you may have noticed that there are gold wheels on the bike. TBH the whole bike was gold and it's not a good look. So the wheels were dropped down to a man on Canvey Island (da rock) as...
