yeah, frank did good on his for sure.  :patriot:

I had great guidance  ;D

Wow, that's cheap!

I was looking at about $70 to have them made locally.

I'd have to measure it later, but I think that'll work.

The seller is in California so I'd guess that they're made in and imported from China but they're holding up to some hard riding..

Here's a completed pic of the front brake upgrade on mine,

I have 27.5" on the front but have lower bars than you and am using the hard line.

Measure with some string and make sure you can turn lock to lock with enough clearance.

Bought the fabbed bits from Garrett, caliper from eBay, a new FZR600 disc from the local motorcycle shop, Galfer braided line and a 13(?)mm "Slimline" master cylinder from Mike'sXS. A fantastic upgrade.

Yeah, Garrett's CNC hanger is super nice.   :cheerleader:

I was told he no longer makes these parts. Is that true? All of these conversions look killer!

Got mine from Garrett as well. Still putting my bike together, so I'm a ways out. He was super nice to deal with.
