Just so it doesn't look like I'm losing my mind and posting random photos, Multi and I are exchanging PM's on the subject...

Here is the bearing area:

I figure it makes more sense to put this stuff in the thread instead of perpetuating the PM's, as to maybe help someone else one day!

Ok, so, my laundry list:

Slider 45922-00
Spacer 43613-92
Rotor 44101-95A
MC 45013-96E (or equivalent)
Custom SS dual brake lines
Wilwood 120-7738-P

What am I missing?

Also, I wanted to say I really appreciate the time you're spending with me on this, Multi. Thanks very much!

"Spacer 43613-92" ??? ... that's a center spacer sleeve ... don't need that

You will also need a hub plate to seal that particular rotor / thunderstar wheel combo from water intrusion ... Just like you have on the LEFT side

Yeah, stupid copy/paste mistake. I meant:

PLATE HUB 43985-98 - which is NLA...

Which I just found online for $11 - with $25 shipping sigh...

Keep in mind,...we already talked about removing those caliper shims on the left side, but you'll probably need some on the Right

I installed the Lyndall pads today. I intended on removing those shims, but it didn’t look right so I left them. I haven’t been able to test them a) because it’s pouring rain, and b) I only had carb cleaner, no brake cleaner to wipe down the rotor from my greasy fingerprints. So I’ll pick up some tomorrow and go for a ride.

I read somewhere that Lyndall pads like a more aggressive bedding procedure then the usual “take it easy for the first 100 miles...”

What do you think?

I've been running Lyndall for years and I've never done anything special to bed them in.
I just get on the bike and ride normally.
