Excellent, thank you so much, the way I’ve put it together is the way it was when I got it, I’ve never been able to see these details on an all original XS2. The brackets for the brake lines have never been there in my ownership. The original lines were held in place with zip ties. I’ll make...

Hi all, quick update, brake feels significantly better after bleeding canted over to the right, stops with much more authority now. Once I have time at the weekend I’m going to strip it down, make some dampers and put it all back together. I’ve included some photos best I can at the moment. I’ll...
