Those integrated callipers are weird, what was the idea behind them? Mouse I have no idea Mouse. 1971 was early for hydraulic disc brakes on motorcycles so may be just a design part of the natural evolution. Might also be a component strength thing too. Perhaps someone in the forum will have an idea. Changing pads looks a right royal pain though. John My thoughts too, i cannot see any advantage, quite the opposite, as you say, changing pads!! Still i'm sure there must be a reason! Have seen the same set up on one other TR2b, ridden i think by Steve Machin. Mouse

This looks lovely Yogi, is it a fe-fresh of the old 385 (same bodywork) or something new?

Only thing that seems an option is either Avon AM26's or Bridgestone BT090's ☹ Steve Actually, i put some AM26's on my standard 4LO earlier this year and i think they are superb, i much prefer them to the previous BT45's, cannot comment on the Bridgestone's as i have never used them but they have been around for a while.

Yes tyres too! And you cannot get specific tyres at the moment, have been waiting for months to get a supercorsa rear, Pirelli now say November!
Sprockets too, Renthal seem to have nothing!
Aaaaaarh!

I love these, looks beautiful, well done sir!
But i'm a little puzzled, thought you were strictly a 350 YPVS man?

I have never understood how Vinales kept his Yamaha ride for so long, he seemed to start a season well and then would run around making up the numbers, on a factory bike!

Mark Cordwell
He did my 31k, it was £800 i think, cannot fault it. Although his prices may have gone up, I'm sure his price for a 4LO, 4L1 is £600ish, it is £1200 if he supplies the bodywork as well.

This is moving at such a pace and looking great! The bellypan looks excellent, are you going to market them?

Well, i guess it was inevitable, maybe he should have done it sooner? I think it is very sad to see someone who was always at the front 'just making up the numbers'.
Whether you like him or not he is a massive talent and a has been a huge benefit to the sport. For me motorsport in general really needs characters like him and i think he will be very sadly missed.

Re the lids, i was always told the shells were the same as we could buy but the linings were made-to-measure for the individual rider, but who knows!

Yep, standard FZ rad, hope can get it sorted as other than that it runs and rides brilliantly!
Sorry to hear you are having issues too but hopefully we can both get them sorted without too much aggro?

I bought a couple of torque wrenches made by 'Teng'. Two because one does 5-25NM and the other 20-110NM, the measurement scale also shows Ftlbs and both are 3/8 drive. Bought them on ebay i think. They work really well and cover all the settings i need on the LC's
