I installed Don’s brake kit on my 74 Interstate and could not be happier. I used the supplied m/c and everything was straightforward.With the marginal rear brake,this was money well spent.

I took my old braded brake line to a brake specialist to have a longer one made due to changing the handlebars . I was told that the screwed on conections were illegal in NSW Aust , they must be the swaged type . Dont know if that applies elswhere.

This has cropped up before and it seems to be mainly Australia (and NZ?) where swaged (and pressure tested) lines are a legal requirement.

It looks like a very nice setup. However I wonder about the modernity of it - most Commandos are classic bikes. I think you have a choice. If your bike is British - keep all the add-ons within ten years of the date of manufacture of the bike. Otherwise if the bike is a hot-rod - do anything. I'm still trying to rid my bike of anything which is obviously Japanese. Italian bits are bearable, otherwise I feel it should be all British and of the period. I think British or Italian parts used on a Japanese bike are simply a waste of good bits.

Dunstall Suzuki and Rickman CR Honda we’re pretty nice.
 
Yes but fit for purpose? You can improve the standard Norton front disk setup and improved it will be for reasonable riding on reasonable roads with reasonable traffic. Madass's kit is superior to this and is fit for modern roads and traffic and provides a greater margin of performance and safety. This is why you upgrade to it. It depends on your needs.

I'm not quite there yet, but glad to know you are still selling them. I will be in touch soon, hopefully before spring.
Thank you
 
BTW, are there two kits? One complete with replacement slider, one with an adapter bracket? Ying's pix shows a bracket online shop shows a new slider.

Don told me he had issues with the sliders, so had to revert to supplying the adapters instead.
 
Any idea what the issues are?
I have one of the sliders on my bike. I've had no problem with it, other than I had to do some intial machining on it to correct.
