16mm master on one AP caliper is way too big. Using the vintage brake ratio chart, the 12mm is a perfect size. I run the 12mm Brembo and a single AP caliper on my race bike and the brake feel is great. I wouldn't use anything else.
Primary concern is having wheels inline with each other along with sprocket alignment a close second. You could fab shock mounts to compensate for any offset in the swingarm once mounted.
If you have access to a lathe, you can make the 3 "cups" for each side, then hand cope the stock to mate up to it and have it welded. Probably cost under $100. No access to lathe, probably $300.
Selling the wheels from my race bike last year. They are 18x2.15 front and 18x3.0 rear. Hubs have been lightened and rear has new bearings. Front has 20mm bearings that are in good condition but as raced last season. Rear comes with sprocket carrier w/ 520 46 tooth aluminum sprocket and brake...
I ran my calipers on the rear a while back when I had stock dual discs. Its and easy enough thing to do, but how much difference it makes is probably immeasurable to the average rider. You would be far better off in the handling department to go bigger on forks and get a caliper that doesn't...
Really excellent work all around. I kept an eye on your 1000 project but just found this. Im a really picky guy and each component is something I would use. Well done.
Unless those are all Keihin factory parts, they are likely junk and will cause more issues than solve. Its pretty widely understood that there is no reason to replace brass unless broken, and to only do so with OEM parts. Gaskets may not make as much of a difference but often are made from...
Comprehension is fine, fuck you very much. I am aware of the similarities and differences of the process, just wanted to point out that one was not the other and vice versa.
Grab a hub from a Honda CB, 70's era. They are 6 hole pattern that is shared with more modern rotors from Ducati and Yamaha. That would allow you to run dual disc up front, though for a tracker, go with a big single disc and a good 6 piston caliper. That will be plenty of stopping power...
I committed to the Antigravity range of batteries for my total loss system on my race bike. When mine dies, I will look at EarthX as the over-discharge protection is actually far more important to me than overcharging, since I have an Optimate charger that monitors overcharging. They don't seem...
