Replacing front hydraulic brake hose.

Although I advocate filtration, I stress that the feed must be adequate. I did a lot of experimentation to prove that it could be done & that inevitably also proved to me the carburettors most filter friendly. Not only do some carburettors take to filtration & require minimal re-jetting as ...

Stainless bridge piece fit.

The stainless bridge piece I got from Vietnam required some grinding to fit and even then doesn't come forward enough to cover the gap with the legshields.
