Nice work by evoboy on the motor too!

How much did it set you back in parts and machining if you don't mind me asking?

Finally got round to mot'ing it

Front brakes shat themselves + they felt wank anyway so got some nice TT600 calipers that fit straight on, brakes feel like any modern bike should do now.

Need to paint the spannies black and get a new chain to make it 100%, then might think about having the tank painted and poss have the rest of the framework sprayed

Sprayed the spannies up with high temp plasticote paint this weekend, gave them a good scrub, sand and then wire wheeled whatever else was left on

I'm really worried about using opposed piston calipers on non-floating discs. I think that might be a recipie for warpage at best, at worst who knows? Brake seizure maybe. I guess as long as you make sure that all the pistons in both calipers move freely you *should* be OK, but manufacturers use floating discs for a reason...

Other than that, good work.

as per with pretty much all 2 strokes i've owned, one header has a pin hole in, so will have to patch that up somehow.

I just assumed that floating discs came about because manufacturers wanted to use opposed piston calipers. With pitbikes you need to run a floating disc in order to use the brembo copy opposed piston calipers...

To be fair I did exactly the same mod on my RD (I told Rob about it in the first place) and I didn't die, but just voicing my concerns.

I figured that sliding calipers would adjust themselves to the position of the disc, but with opposed piston calipers which are fixed, you need some movement and that movement is in the disc instead of the caliper. But, if there are bikes with four pot opposed piston calipers and fixed discs, I stand corrected.
