    could any R owner (2016) Ohlin's forks measure the distance in-between the discs' outside to outside, I'm fitting a R front end to my Speed Twin, and it would appear that the Speed Twin has a slightly wider front end.

    This not allowing me to mount the R Brembo callipers correctly

    Col, thanks for that, mattP also replied with the same measurement, "Measure Twice Cut Once" still rings true all these years after my apprenticeship

    Have you got to skim the wheel hub? (going to need a lathe with a big throw - or get wheel horizontal on a mill?).

    Dilli don't take the piss out of the 4" & 9" grinder, commonly known within on site engineering services as "A precision Altification correctional adjustable milling machine".
