what yolkes are you using ?

and what year are the forks ? since it looks like you are not using spacers for the calipers, I presume they are 2005 or younger ?
My ultimate goal is to die young as late as possible !

Yokes are Rgv but I'm in the process of trying to make some nice billet ones. Forkes are 2005 636 but even the new ones still use 300mm discs the same as the rgv wheel i'm using
