tiboltrider":17jde1he said:1. I bought some purple bolts and 2nd hand Deore cable pull calipers. I've got to use cable pull calipers as the supplied brake levers have a cut out to the motor. I've still either got to fit a 160mm disc or change the mount.
4. XT thumbie fitted. I tried a couple of different RF+ shifters but they wouldn't have worked with the twist grip throttle (anyways screw on rear block is 7 speed). Also purple top cap, speedo monitor and suitably named handle bar.

For the brake cut out, I used a very neat inline pressure switch tapped into the hydraulic brake lines and allows you to use proper disc brakes. I have a spare one kicking around here someplace.
For gear changing, I mounted a SRAM twistgrip shifter on the left bar.

I thought they are restricted to 15 mph otherwise classed as moped so would need road tax and insurance (mot too?).
