I like the two post above a lot.
Flat slides droooollllling yer baby
I have flat slides for mine too it seems we are doing the same sort of thing I am doing a 89 oiler for special occasions and have a gsxr 1000 for a daily ride.
This bike is going to look sweet Rod when its finished mate
Looks good Rod, maybe paint the bottom clamp black to match the top part of your forks. Rotors look nasty, I like them.

I recon full black forks :-)
Looking good tho
I recognise those discs and carriers. Some of Ben's Buzzsaw disks from back in the day. I still have mine. ...and those carbon fibre carriers used to look great on Chris' bike; should suit yours down to the ground.
So they are carbon - was trying to work out if they were, or if it was an artifact of the photo being taken with a potato. Has Anyone put any mileage on the carbon carriers? I'd be concerned about them flogging out at the buttons very quickly, and heat softening off the resin...
They were on Chris' bike for years. I rode to the GP with him so they weren't shy of doing the K's either.
They are almost the last part of my 711 that i still have.
I was getting carozzerias for it, so asked ben to make some lightweight buzz saws out of carbon to match the carro spoke pattern. He said too hard.
He called me weeks later and asked if i still wanted them, said I wasnt sure i had the cash anymore, he told me he figured out how, and he had already made them. I found the cash.
they weigh just over 1kg per rotor.
i overheard a conversation at a bike show once saying that it couldnt be real carbon, I m ust have vinyl wrapped them.
Better on a bike than in my garage, numbers.
