Pretech 6 pots

Looking good mate, and a top write up as usual.

I've gone for the bling look with the red callipers and blue underslung rear mount. I'll also be going for the Goodridge lines solution a la Les and Owl when the fronts are fitted.
While it's off the road getting the recent crash damage sorted I'm having the forks powder coated black along with a lot of the chrome and the wheels.
I replaced the standard horn with a Nautilus some time ago and since the SC Rad was damaged in the crash I'm replacing the chrome horn cover under the headlight with a horizontally mounted cooler in its place. Will post pics when it's finished but this is one with the rear callipers and Preds on, before the crash. :lol:

Perdy - get that crappy rear brake line replaced while you're at it, with a proper braided jobby.

I am doing mate, and I've told em to route it so I can't use the ground to disconnect it, like i did with me last one. :wink:
 
R34---with shorty can and "skinny" swing arm exposed here is cover i pm'd you about to give swing arm a more "bulky" look to "balance" big rear tire look! (and driveshaft side!)
---just folded 5052 alum. and tigged on end. (6061 cracks w/ 90 degree brake/bend)
---would be "black powder" of course in your case!!
 
aquilla----here is a pic of a "hardline" brake line install.--albeit it a "piss-poor" pic. was only one i could find/ remember. a small diam. "hard" stainless steel line runs parallel to fork---thus "eliminating drape" look.
---short little "flex lines" attach to bottom of lower triple tree T and off each caliper. steel hardline runs thru a drilled hole w/ gromett in tab attached to tree 'or' fender mount to allow line to "ride" up-n-down w/ fork!

+1

John is this swingarm cover a one off or are you planning on selling them?
 
tmac---One-Off. too labour intensive for production, especially in polished aluminum, to make it "appear" to have been machined from 1 big bar.
----for black powder or paint however---should be easy build from sheet metal.
