Cheap and cheerful. Means more beer money 🤗
The front discs were, as said above, Chinese ones which are now unavailable. Can’t remember the name off hand (Lifan) but they were sourced from one of the chats on this site. I’ve had them for about 5 years now. Not done huge miles but they do work...
Interesting thought. Spaghetti fork legs 🤣🤣🤣.
Yes those callipers can be obtained at a good price. They read up well on their web site. Be nice to hear if anyone has used the Adelin callipers.
Would’ve been a good offer. The 300mm disc set up keeps the standard look too. Very nice. Did you need to make brackets for the callipers?
Here’s mine with the 280mm discs.

Saw this for the XS750 and thought it would be an easy change on the 650 as I believe the calliper mounts are the same.
I have asked if they will fit the wire wheels. They obviously haven’t tried and I’m dubious as to whether...
Ta.
Yeah a few more jobs done. Oil cooler and remote filter, changed the carbs. Not sure if the wheels were done in my last pictures.
Cheep sticker off eBay 👍.
Hmmm thought that was the wife moaning again for a moment 😖.
Just spoke to boring shop and weve agreed the Yamaha standard spec is probably best, especially with all the feedback from people here.
He said he would've gone slightly overspec anyway so tighter spec plus a whisker is about standard :).
Update.
Just had a message from the man at Cruzin Image:-
Thank you for your message. regarding clearance.
I asked my supplier about clearance.the clearance is 0.035-0.045mm
Best regards,

Less than standard.
I've just purchased a set of these pistons and need to know what piston to bore clearance was used, because the rebore man said the standard Yamaha tolerances sounded tight for cast pistons.
