looking at improving the braking and suspension of my 'indian' GP project.......not having the national mint 5to hand what is most cost effective and where/who from??

would love something like the twin disc front end that Frank Sanderson keeps posting but feel it may be beyond my means???

I just re springed and new rubbers and had the 200 brackets welded on and added extra dampers as 200 and to be honest its by far a lot better and not to expensive...At least when i go over a speed bump now it doesnt try to sling me in the kerb.

heres mine cost £110 quid had to remake some stuff to make it fit no complaints though the prob with the extrenal disc brakes is there quite violent in use and the front drops down , really you need anti dive my set up has stopped alot of the dive and allows more feel a couple of others near me have external conversions which ive helped on we have used various shockers from various sources, and all seem to handle well if you go for the normal dampers try and get the proper links or have lugs welded on yours to accept the lower damper mounts , the retro fit bottom ones sometimes move around or out of position

I like the anti dive set up Dan has on his race bike.....and from memory (he will correct me if im wrong) he runs standard springs and rubbers?
