Adjuster being fabricated. One nut was drilled out to allow the bolt to rotate freely. This allows for the adjuster to draw in the threaded bar attached to the compensator bar.

Making up the adjuster rod. Used the magnetic angles in the vice to get everything lined up!

Back to leading links. Came across this at a 40 weekend of all places. On speaking to the owner (a very nice chap) he was telling me that when he brakes the handlebars rise instead of fall. Is that due to the brake callipers being on the rocker rather than floating?

Yep. Causes a torque reaction. Had an early Honda C50 that if you didn't chamfer the leading edge of the brake shoes the front would hop. They had very short leading links. |

I had a c100 - don't remember the leading links, maybe it didn't have them, I was only 17 so my head was full of testosterone then ! Modified the post - - It was a C110 - cos it looked like a real bike, and it DID have leading links, what a blast from the past that is. |
