i rang them up recently and i think they are just waiting on the place that casts them i think???
they narrow the front end by a couple of mm's.
although i think i will just do a pan swap and get the later factory brakes instead of the VVDS ones

I asked Boris about them in May when we were in Penrith for the Forum show. They are being designed to have the large 5 stud pattern and also keep
the wheels in the original spot as the drum brakes. Most disk brake conversions make the wheel stick out further. Wheres Dave Birchall. VVDS has
been posted and theres no response. Come on Dave. Put the crownie down for a second will ya!:vader |
