With the rod attached so far away from the swingarm pivot, how are you addressing possible issues with bump braking?

It’s not too dissimilar to the original set up, in fact the original was further away.

Managed to damage my new media blast cabinet before I’ve even had chance to use it

However a bit of panel beating and a respray (not the same colour as who knows what colour the people in China painted it) in a close enough colour. It’s not perfect, but it will do the job.

Been doing some work to improve the blast cabinet. The cabinet, being cheap Chinese is made of very thin metal. As I want to improve certain parts of it, I’ve decided to beef things up in some areas.

Found some time to start machining the rear brake level foot plate/spigot.
