Been on holiday sorry lads. Seat done by Chaos customs in Swansea. They do an awesome job and are very reasonable. They also do delivery / mail order. Search for them on Facebook.

Ok anyone got a rear disc they would sell ? Missed a tiny little crack in the disc (do not use the back brake but would be an MOT fail!) thanks in advance.

I couldn't find a rear disc anywhere until this, I took a couple of weeks to arrive but its all good.

I'm glad you got a replacement, and at reasonable cost.
I felt a bit guilty having missed it.

Personally Jim i would ride with it as never use back brake but Mr MOT man would not agree. Its hardly noticeable but better safe than sorry. I nearly missed it!

Back brakes, what are they? Especially on a V-Twin. :D
I always pressed the brake pedal slightly to get the brake light on when shutting the throttle so riders behind knew to apply their own brakes. I could hear the expletives from behind before I started doing it. :shock:
