Anybody got a diagram of the floating rear brake assy/brackets for SP5/Superlights?I pulled the rear wheel out,all the spacers dropped out of the caliper bracket and i am not 100% sure which way they go back in!!:puzzled:Thanks

Is that what you're looking for (Off an SL)?

That's great mate.I am still stuck though!According to that drawing,the smaller of the two spacers(40) goes against the swingarm,and the larger one(38) against the wheel bearing.If i put them that way round,i can't get the wheel back in!!Can you(or anyone else with an undeslung floating brake),confirm that the BIG spacer(38) definately goes against the wheel,please.

The picture it seems is wrong from an assembly point of view, 'cos according to my bike at least, the big spacer 38 sits against the swingarm.

Thanks alot mate.I really appreciate that.As it was the only way i could put it back together and the diagram says i was wrong,i was a bit nervous of riding it.You have now put my mind at rest,well at least two of us are wrong if somehow the drawing is right.Thanks again.:D
