Cheers John. I think I'll probably go the rose joint/turnbuckle route. I did wonder about shopping around and finding an off-the-shelf drop link for something that will do the trick but some adjustability would be nice. I guess I'll press on and mount the bar and then see how everything seems to line up.

Just been out for 40 miles or so round the Cheshire Lanes - very pleasant - no traffic as everybody is probably still in the pub mourning the football result. The steering arm stiffness is quite noticeable - particularly struck me when crossing catseyes at a junction when there was noticeable squirm before. Haven't tested yet but I bet it has less tendency to tramline HGV tracks as well.

Brakes - I think two cylinders will be the way to go. First step is to find out the piston areas on what I've got at the wheels. What's the braking effort like with no servo?

Richard
