Just noticed the position of the front brake lever on the drum. Ideal should be when the brake is off that it is sat at 90 degrees to the forks. You should move it round one spline on the shaft toward the floor. It should give improved braking too.


Looking really nice now... how many holes was it for the MT500 on the heat shield then??
