Going racing again! another Bike Build

[robracer]

Steve its the OEM..... I am trying to track down some AP Lockheed dual piston's as I have a bigger cast disk that came with the Akra rims, I would only need to fabricate a bracket.

That would be the go I have a single grimeca on my tz350 with a half inch mastercylinder and it stops on a dime

the aussie distributor for AP Lockheed lives about 30km away from me mate - if you want a 4-fin AP let me know. Pretty sure these are OK for P4 ??

Gos that would be great if you could shoot over some details, pm sent

I just ordered a twin piston Grimeca for the LC and a 298mm disc just turned up in the post yesterday to convert it to a single disc like Steve's TZ. The Grimeca was under $200 delivered with pads, where as the only AP Lockheed I found was $257 without pads. I wish I knew you had contacts Gos, as I would have preferred the AP Lockheed if I could get it at a reasonable cost.

Far canal, you're not holding back are you Nelso?!

I need it to stop. Truth is, I broke one of the LCs calipers and decided it was worth upgrading rather than spending money on more shitty brakes. Thanks to Stevo already having a bracket and spacer that I could copy, it made it a simple conversion.

I had more than one mounting bracket and spacer cut out if you are ever interested in doing the same upgrade.

Thanks for the offer Nelso, I might have a chat to you about that at round 1.

I'm not so worried about the power of the brakes, but the twin disk setup is pretty bloody heavy so it would be good to dump it.

...... I wish I knew you had contacts Gos.....

you need to read more of my posts in the Old Dungers section mate ! got 'em by the truckload

[robracer]

Gos Still looking for one but as per my message the 350 4 runs a 4mm disk

Been Busy, the new swingarm arrived, yep the one ordered in November! had it powder coated last week. This is a Dresda copy which is square tube, in theory it is stronger the the original round tube, wont flex as much, & it is about 1KG lighter.
The bike is pretty much complete now but there will always be stuff that can be improved 7 long months to get to this stage, seems more like years
