Timothy, they came off Albie's S4. A few people told me they wouldn't fit but they went on with almost no probs at all. And of course by the hand of a mechanic who can do anything!

Only thing that was needed was to put a small spacer (about 4mm I think it was) on the rear hanger mount points. But we're ditching the standard footrest brackets anyway.

p.s. if you'd be kind enough to bring the disc to Cadwell that'd be great. Will only take 10 mins to change.

Will do, not sure how good the disk is though, like the rest of the Monnie, it wasn't very well looked after.

Today I got my first ride on the race bike. 'Pete the Spanner' brought Little Beastie up to Popham for a quick road test, and I got to have a play.

I was just 200m up the road when the front wheel locked solid! Thought I'd binned it already, but somehow she stayed the right way up and we could get on with the show. Lesson 1: don't test brake power with cold rubber

Dick said he'll send you the bill for cleaning the rubber off the road, but you'll have to do your underpants yourself
