@ Mark
ordered the pipe at hva-factory.com from GB. It s a WR not a CR one. I don t know the price anymore, but think it was £ 200 plus tax and shipping.
Look here at the cafe ... they have an account

Nice to see I'm not the only one with high riser bar mounts, that is quite a stack! I use these, if you ever want a simple one piece.

there are two reasons for higher handlebarclamps. First is better position to sit ( I m 1, 91m tall), second is the option to mount a steeringdamper instead of the bikecomputer (see the small braket at the top of the toptube in front of the gastank). It s an öhlins, but it s leaking and I have to repair first.

[RUF]

Jen, please post some pics of the front brake. Thanks

 

[troy deck]

yes please im lost to

 

[Jens Ries]

The outer housing of the brakecable is connected to the upper lever at brakeplate and the inner cable is fixed at the upper hole for discbrakemounting at the fork. Fixed the plate with a big M10 screw, a spacer and a selfmade adapterplate to lower hole for discbrakemounting. This is not the final version just experimentalstatus.
The outer ball and tube housing and the forged maguralever at the handlebar are very stiff and hard, but the levers at the brakeplate are very spongy. Want to change them to aluminum ones with another design and a bracket at the front of the forktube.
@ RUF .. like black beasts .. had a girlfriend from mombase for four years :-);-)

And what about the front wheel axle ?
Thanks

 

[Jens Ries]

it s a little bit to long, will cut it and change the ugly scew into titanscrew

 

[oregonsage]

no flex at the frontbrake cable ... it works .. it s not new ... You can buy this for mountainbikes

What do they call them? Im unable to find them online in the bicycle world, but Im not sure what Im looking for.

 

[Jens Ries]

google for trac pearls. It s a cablehousing for bikes, shifting and braking. But You can t buy it in a size for motorcycles, so I built it for myself. It was difficult to get the balls and to drill a hole into them.
