Bitsa (Ralph Wright - RIP):
Had a suzuki gs550 like that sent it to a firm in Maidstone Kent who straightened the lot and fixed that came back like new for less than a 1 enner
Highly recommended no big deal
Cheers

Folks can be re-chromed and come out like new.

I had a few of the same issues on a 550 a fair few years ago the cracked brake mounting on the fork lower might be weldable but I just replaced mine as a replacement was cheap at the time though I did ride it like that for a bit. I cannot recall what i did to resolve the disk alignment for twin disking - think I just replaced filed a light champher onto the pads but I did have piles of comstars and disks off a job lot of comstars around so could mix and match a lot. I think nowadays I would look at taking the hub back 2 mm on the disk seat but that requires quite a big lathe as it is not possible to safely dismantle a comstar wheel and rebuild it.

I lied, one more question .  Is this the original brake master or has it been replaced to run the dual front disks?

Thanks Trigger, that'd be much appreciated.
