[QUOTE="greg brillus, post: 52517, member: 597"] Thanks once again for posting the pics David, Yes the front brake is off a Suzuki GT 750 but has been modified extensively and lightened by around half a kilo. The wheels are totally complete now and only need the Avon AM 26 race tires fitted once I am closer to the bikes completion. I changed the wheel bearings from the original metric axle hole sixe back to the Vincent's standard 1/2 inch, with a new alloy distance piece in the middle. The rear hub has also been modified to accept sealed ball bearings, so as not to worry about the grease seals etc with the taper rollers....this is a well worth while change. The odd looking bolts in the rear hub are 5/16 aircraft huck bolts, and the nuts are alloy............it's the collective changes in weight, that make all the difference. The brake linings were done by Vintage Brake in the USA, [/QUOTE]
