Title: After market rear MC
Post by: BrettS on November 05, 2013, 07:42:50 PM: Eddy almost convinced me to search out a second hand original MC but with the aftermarket one in hand I decided to go forward with my plan.

It was a pretty easy transition in the end. With the blue spot brakes and 14mm MC at front and the new rear MC the brakes feel fantastic and would love a go-whoa comp to compare.
I still need to replace a couple of nut "spacers" with a pipe spacer that can be welded to the original mounting point. But it all works very well as is for now. I can still go back to original very easily removing the added bracket but Once I settle in on this I reckon I will remove the no longer needed mounting point.
It defiantly suits the minimalist theme hidden behind the frame
Pretty crappy pics with the sons ipod but everything else was flat ::)

I noticed u have a cracked side cover,

can be sanded/painted and drys straight away. jat
