[QUOTE="DucATIRadeon, post: 174076, member: 5456"] regarding the brakes a small update: still not done yet. as it happens a close family member is taken very ill into hospital and as such literally everything that was sorted has gone done the shoot. what has been done: the holes in the brake plates have been reamed to same size and pillars made to suit. then found that 1 hole turned out skew (not parallel to the axle axis and other pillar hole), that one has to be corrected (oversize) and 1 oversize pillar made. when I rode the bike after turning the shoes square with the axle it did brake better in the beginning then slightly back to less better. upon inspection it was clear the rubbing marks had shifted again to 1 side i.e. the shoe pillars are bending. when family matter clears up (tbh I expect a funeral in the very near future) I hope to carry on with this, as the weather is exceptional the past few weeks and still havent ridden the bike properly yet! many things done and can't test. oh well, riding the Enfield Bullet and the Ducati 175 isn't a punishment either!
