Nice rig. Although the Norco's don't fit me, I really like them.

Hey Al,
Sounds like a good set-up, how are those brakes treating you?

The Brakes are amazing, although i did do a little customisation for the
front one. They do not come in a mount to fit boxxers, seen as i was going
to have to get a mount made to do the job i got a hayes eight inch rotor and
got a mount match the caliper to the fork using the larger rotor which
results in stupid stopping power. Probably a little over board but what the
hell. The rear one runs on a very small disk 155 mm and works amazingly.
