Got this emailed to me & thought it would make a nice blog post so here goes;
"Following on from the blog conversation, here are some pics of the brakes. Check out how the rear brake has webbing behind the block but the front brake has it infront of the blocks. I think this is to keep the block safer from scuffing. Also see how the cable slot in the front brake is much longer so when it stradles from one side to the other there is clearance. They have made the front brake really close to the forks (again, for scuffing). This sometimes causes a problem with the fork crown hitting the brake so they provide spacer washers to extend your 990 mounts if you need to. There is also a real nice cable outer end that fits into the barrel part of the brakearm (either side). All very nice. Also check out the decal on the arms andsprings."
Cheers Alex.
