Looks like a good thing, it will be interesting to see if the market supports the asking price.
As an aside, and in no way being critical, does the backing plate go on the left or right for the front brake. I have a 250 that I initially put the backing plate on the left until I saw some period photographs showing it on the right. I changed mine around and now I have a front brake that is nearly non-existent. Anyone got any thoughts or does it really matter anyway.
Cheers

Earlier bikes ran the brake on the right, running the brake on the left gives a straighter run for the cable which is why most people do it
