That's....odd!

You gave me some advice about the travel stop quite some time ago, as I couldn't find it, and when setting it up to my wife's liking (having moved the footpeg a bit) it is too high, and it needs the brakelight switch adjusting too. Some health issues for us both stopped progress dead on that, but no...

It's done! First attempt we did cut too much off, while the disc was dead centre on the caliper, the bottom of the caliper was just catching the disc rivets, by a metric teeny tiny smidge. Could hardly hear it, but very slow rotation of the wheel I could just hear something rubbing. So 0.75mm is the...

'Holding' post! I have a spare spacer now and will be machining a metric smidge (1mm should do it, but a touch more is a possibility, it's hard to measure in the depths of the caliper) off it tomorrow, and have taken the opportunity to overhaul the caliper whilst it is apart, only to find the packet...

Hamstring injuries are a real pain (Hah!). I hope Mrs H has a quick and successful recovery. Rob Thank you, Rob. It has been very troublesome, turns out she didn't get the follow-up treatment it needed/should have had at the time, we have now raided the piggybank to pay for private physiotherapy (a...

Thank you once again, Rob. I have now found another Mono with RHS brake, as you say it probably depends upon what stock was to hand at time of assembly. I agree with all your comments, I was pretty sure that a little skim of the spacer would work as the registration of the wheel is totally dependent...

I should be OK with shaving the spacer, the way Mono front wheel spindles work it is drawn in from one end while the other is left slack to slide through the other leg until it is all snugged up, then the fork lower is clamped down to the spindle. I think it'll work, I'll give it a coat of looking ...

Maybe something like this setup? https://forums.bmwmoa.org/threads/weeping-brake-caliper-1985-r80rt.106865/post-1345188 or this? https://forums.bmwmoa.org/threads/1986-r80rt-front-wheel-not-turning-properly.89668/post-1096629 Kurt Hi Kurt - yes, but single disc, with the RHS only. I'm beginning to ...

Thank you for your reply. Mono calipers are in front of the leg - always. It was the Brembo fitted twin shocks where the calipers moved to the rear. So that's not it! It is possible it has been assembled wrong sided, but then the caliper would not fit, I don't think.....I'm pretty sure the calipers ...
