    Upgrading carbs - Dellorto? *About to begin, More Q's*

    Front disc conversion

    I think the offset on standard 15's is ET40. Did have to 'clearance' the calipers very slightly too....

    Front disc conversion

    This is what I did, 73> spindles/disks/calipers, really happy with how they perform but did have to go to 15" split wheels to clear the calipers.

    dubbing in dorset

    I usually go for the weekend, but can only make the Sunday this year. Shame really, I like a small show and laid-back atmosphere.....
