Hello Pat, I should arrive a few days in advance, we will go to New York together in Reno Leoni, and I think we will have to greet his family, then we will do 500km by car to come to the symposium, I can not wait to greet you.

Wow this is an old post! Still working on this old girl. Just replaced the front rotors with what Reno had on so many of his machines. I think they look great and replaced a worn out pair. Still have to sort out the front end, and on and on! Lou

This does go back Lou. I have seen these before, with what looks like Brembo cast iron outers, but with a gray aluminum center that does not look like a Brembo - and is not marked as such. What was the difference or source? MikeV

And what size are those? Did you cram some 300mm onto that 16-inch wheel?

Wow Mike, you are good! Yes those are nos cast iron rotors Brembo, and the centers I bought from Kowanda in Japan recently. It had 300mm Rotors on the 16 inch wheel when raced, it just fits!

Still working on the Adamo/Leoni bike. Made a fender bracket for the RGB forks. A simple job, that took hours, I still don't know why. The fairing needs a bunch of repair and reinforcement. Also need to install the antidive valves as well as welding the subframe and repainting. It's more work to keep the 'patina' than restore to 'new', but it's worth it, I hope. Lou

Missed this post Lou. Don't know how since the glint from those 300mm discs on a 16-inch wheel is blinding. It is amazing how much time can be spent on making such a small item, isn't it? Where did the day go? Keep having fun. MikeV

It's the truth Mike! Finally was able to piece together the anti-dive valves for the RGB forks. Wasn't easy as it was a box of springs and washers and no instructions! One was still semi together so I was able to figure it out. Now to install on the forks, and make the brake caliper to anti-dive valve braided line.They are missing the rotary knob on the bottom which is held in place by a spring pin. The have numbers, I think 1,2,3 so I will try and machine a knurled round knob and stamp some numbers on it. Unless any of my friends on the Forum have a set of the rotary knobs, doing nothing in their tool box!!? Fun, fun, fun! Lou
