I got mine direct from
Metmachex
I ordered a Kerker from Dennis Kirk and the swingarm from England the same day, and the swingarm arrived first!

It's on a Suzuki... do you really want to see it? :blush:
I bought it back in about '97 and to the best of my recollection,

Thanks Doc! Actually it's an ES and not a Katana
As Leon has stated, the wheels are from Astralite The calipers are from Spondon and the rotors are a Sandy Kosman creation. The pipe is a Motogpwerks race pipe.
Oh, and of course, the Metmachex swing arm

your brake setup looks very period correct. very nice. I'm trying to do something similar on a project of mine. where or where did you find those kosman discs? i check ebay and never see them.

I took my wheels to Sandy himself years ago and they were made for me 1 off. They weren't an ebay find like the wheels. Sadly Sandy isn't running the company any longer, but the shop still does amazing things.
