Thanks for your comments/compliments.
I was surprised at how little I found when researching the brakester but real happy I did it - the rotor had to go. Required welding a mounting tab to the swingarm and some adjustments to the spacers... also didn't come with pulley bolts which was a drag (had to find bolts with smaller heads due to tight tolerance between the pulley & caliper bracket).
The placement is correct for my model but I have also seen applications that have the brake inside the arms rather that underneath.
Braking on the pulley is fine after wearing it in after some miles.
Had no issues at all w/the 50-spoke fat daddy wheels...
The bars are 16'", 1.5" diameter Carlini.
The mirror I picked up on ebay, think it was under 10 bucks - exactly what I needed - think I searched 'bobber mirror'.
