Pretty nifty, Dactek. Is that the 11 inch rim?

We thought before about going the opposite way with a smaller hub to allow a bigger wheel well, but doesn't work on the back.

That 's just downright sexy!
Life shouldn't be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty, well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, loudly proclaiming: "WOW, WHAT A RIDE"

Think the dacs will be a little out of my price range but a lovley piece of kit :D

Looks like its the scooterrs are the ones to get, i have Kawasaki dampers i presume that these will fit no problem? Havent welded the brackets yet as wanted to find out there wouldnt be any potential issues?

If your going to weld forks, then seriously look at anti dive and weld another bracket for it as the Kwaka dampers won't help as if you stiffen them you'll you'll make the ride worse. I eventually went for the PM/Frank Sanderson option with MB SS fork links and uprated springs with loose ball bearings and the front end is superb. This is my experience with this anyway.
Turn On, Tune In, Cop out!

Anti dive would be nice but cant see any kits with it for less than £300, so think i am going to go for the the ScootRS front disc, works out at about £200 plus postage. I presume that if i buy from there website im not going to get the sand blast crap....Will have a think about the dampers as well. the adjustable ones with the external springs look pretty trick...
