You'd only need to spend another £65 for a scootrs anti dive brake kit.

..... that's 20 pints ... or 160 fags to some.

And the difference between getting there safe or ending up hitting some cvnt who ' never so ye mate' £65 extra well spent when you need to stop quickly even at 40 /50 mph

I have ftted various kits to bikes, the Spaq one is definitely the least bolt-in; as said, needs some jigging about to sit nicely. Having said that, the owners have been happy with the brake's performance once correctly fitted.
I'd say the ScootRS one is best vfm.
[If you are happy to go with a Spaq one, i do have a hardly used one for sale, with nissin caliper and braided hose. £160 + p&p]

The cheaper version will blow seals, in master cylinder and caliper, go for one with nissin parts , old motto is BUY CHEAP BUY TWICE,

heres mine ive got polished hydraulic master cylinder and lever , stainless braided hose , polished hoses fittings i paid £315 delivered for my kit
to finished it off im waiting for chrome bgm dampers




forks are not bent just took picture of my mobile in garage at funny angle

seems alot , I paid £230 for pepperpot version same as yours, polished hub, stainless hose, nissin components from KBR scooters Doncaster

due to an mot failure because the front brake did the best part of nothing i have had to go for the kit from beedspeed because of a lack of funds. BUT! i will be bale to let everyone else know the quality and how the perform when its done

just thought, my scoot isn't running dampers reckon i should probably get some on it?

only if you use decent ones, the shiny thin ones are not noticeable in the handling department, and don't use those brackets on the links, fit some links with damper studs.

Because the outboard disc works so well it'll cause the front end to dive under breaking so extra help from front dampers is a must. The Escort ones work well for a fraction of the price of some others out there. I'd only use weld on brackets at the top of the forks and get someone like "Shocky" on here to weld lugs onto your drum links to mount the shockers at the bottom.
