[QUOTE="timetraveller, post: 64707, member: 456"] Some of you will know that Patrick Godet is running a bike on the Isle of Man this year and his rider, Bruno Leroy, was having trouble with handling under braking. David Dunfey contacted me to find out whether I had any of the modified steering heads left, based upon John Emmanuel's modification. I was out of the UK when the email arrived and David very kindly sent one of his to Patrick directly from the USA as that was likely to arrive before I could get one to Patrick. Below is what Patrick has written to David after his rider has tested them. "I would like to thank you so much for the decisive improvement you have provided in helping me to solve the Girdraulic wobbles occurring on very hard braking. Bruno went to test the machine yesterday to a track near Paris and confirms the machine has calm down and is not wobbling in fierce conditions. You have made me save a lot of time as even after 40years +of Vincentering I never heard of such a mod and never had any problem at my racing time because the brake were OK one lap I was using engine brake that was almost all nothing to compare with our actual far better front brake. I am so glad I can send the safest possible machine to such a dangerous track" This is not a sales pitch as, without making a new batch, I do not have any more to sell, but a confirmation to those who have bought the modified items, but not yet used them, that professional racers do find handling improved. Good luck to Bruno and Patrick and thanks to John Emmanuel for letting us copy his modification. [/QUOTE]
