    The opposite piston pairs in each caliper are different diameters and have been designed that way according to disc rotation, apparantly. This obviously changes by mounting the calipers upside down. How this all works I have no idea though.

    The trailing piston (Top on a motor cycle) is smaller as the pad is hotter and will wear more quickly if you have the same pressure as the leading edge causeing the pad to taper.

  2. CRMC are a bit of a night mare.  You need to speak to the eligibility bod at the club. What they say goes, doesn't matter if its a period correct mod or not.  

    1100cc motor is a definite no.  Tt will have to be 750. 

  3. To temove gear shaft, you need to remove the clutch and primary gear. Then remove the circlip in the picture above and tap the gear shaft out through the clutch side. 

    To degrease, brake clean, then acetone before welding.

  4. Robinsons foundry some times have deals on gaskets and o'rings. 

    They were less than half price in one of there deals a couple years back so I stocked up.

    Worth keeping an eye out.

  5. A 45mm longer shock will have the linkage hard against the stops. You can grind material away here and there to gain a bit of clearance, but 45mm is a lot.

    I run and early r6 shock tgat is around 18mm longer than stock, still had to grind material away to get enough sag in the rear suspension.

     

  6. Some where in the distance a bell chimes in the wind.  A tumble weed rolls across the foreground and crickets start to chirp.

    A stranger rumages through a shipping container and finds a load of neglected projects. Hmmm suppose I better finish these.

    I think the issue with helical gears is they have a tendency to push apart under extreme loads, this can cause early bearing failure amongst other issues . In many competition cars straight cut gearboxes are a common upgrade one downside is that straight cut gears can be noisier than helical

    Clive beat me to it :tu ya too cool for skool Clive.....

    Straight cut gears sap less power than helical, that's why race cars and most bikes use them, they aren't necessarily stronger. 

    The helical gears on the F were used for refinement.
