[QUOTE="BigEd, post: 75984, member: 161"] Dear Rob, I thought I would post the picture of the Brough linkage I showed you last time I visited. Also some pictures of the discs. The disc brakes appear to be by Beringer and each disc is two close mounted disc with a central pad so that each side of the wheel in effect has two brakes. Link: [URL]http://thekneeslider.com/beringer-4-disc-brakes/[/URL] My friend Tony and I had quite a good look at the Brough Superior stand when we visited the Motorcycle Show at the NEC last week. We wondered what market the bike was aimed at. We managed to nail the two men on the stand and asked some questions. We asked what the engine was from and they said it was their own. (I think more likely they told “a company” what sort of thing they wanted and got a few built, who knows?) They said they were only going to produce 2 or 300. They said the price was £55,000 each!
