    On the slabby track bike I'm (very slowly ) building I started with a slingshot front end and B12 wheels. I have since decided I want to stay RWU so I have a ZX6R RWU fromt end. It's a chunky little fucker with adjustable preload and damping so it should work a treat and I think it looks better. Same 90mm  hole spacing   for the nissin calipers  I have  too. The main reason though (thanks for the tip @Leblowski ) is the weight difference of the ZX6R wheels they feel half the weight of the B12 wheels which I hope will make all the difference if it ever makes it to  a track.

    I do have a set of RWU zx9r forks here and a set of zzr1100 ones. both are lighter than USD and shorter. ZZR are free if you want them although you pay post bud. Cheap is the key!

    Mark, it is your fairing! As to what it looks like now god only knows. It went off for paint with the seat and tank well over a year ago and is still not back. I use Simon at Flying Tiger for paint and the guy is a perfectionist but painfully slow. He told me it took a lot to repair historical repairs. He promised me it was going to all finished for Christmas but didn't say what year. I chased him a couple of weeks ago and he told me he just needed to apply graphics and lacquer so hopefully not too much longer. I'm not chasing him as I'm broke and if he is finished he'll want paying. He's also got my Lawson and Moto Martin so god knows when I'll see them back.

    only broke because you have been paying for ELO tickets :)

    You could try using Engineers Blue. Its a blue dyed grease stuff. Put a very thin smear on the crank taper (thin as so you can barely see it) & then put the rotor on & turn it slightly. When you take the rotor off the contact point will not have any blue on it. You use the same stuff for checking valve seats after cutting. Get it from engineering supplies or Eblag.

    cheap equivalent is a permanent marker pen or a whiteboard pen. Both work the same and save some faffing about. I nick them off my old lady....
