Post by: greentoad on April 02, 2007, 05:39 PM: Hi......Very Nice.

A Trickstar has been in my mind for quite a while now, they do look sweet and yours is true quality.

Top job, but what is the rear brake? Would a 1000 fit better?

Post by: rad dad on April 02, 2007, 06:05 PM: Thanks j, they are NOS 1000s but i think i may have too many packers on it as the mounting point is flat instead of round, people always seem to have problems mounting the rear caliper on these, ive seen a few discussions on it and im no exception :-[ it doesnt help having the centering device still on there either :LolLolLolLol:

i had one as a rider a couple of years ago and i must admit i couldnt decide which way it was going due to all the flex, i tried to sell one last year and couldnt get £200 for it

Post by: rad dad on April 04, 2007, 09:25 PM: Blady hell £200 how things change

thanks for all the positive comments guys, much appreciated :smitten:
