[QUOTE="CarlHungness, post: 60803, member: 2517"] HI: I have not installed them yet, still in the box. They are fitted to my drums and I plan to sell the whole plot, with my Shadow drums. They look great, but do have a (slight?) tendency to lock up if wet. I am throwing looks to the wind here, as I feel I need a disc brake up front. Robert Watson, a fast rider speaks highly of the TLS set he installed. Yet I agree with journeyman Roy Cross, if you're going to modify the front brake, you can't beat the disc. Besides, my bike is a 1954 and discs were available then, just. The mod can be changed back to stock with little effort. [/QUOTE]
