That's right Jake!

The AMA did away with the Womens class in Vintage Motocross (they still have it in Post-Vintage), so she just went out and beat up on the men!

And for the second year in a row, she competed in the Hare Scrambles, Motocross, and Trials events.

Congrats Toni Roach, First Lady of Moto!

Gary, what did you do turn the front brake arm around on her yellow bike.  Just switch the direction of the arm?

Hi Mick.

It's a '79 and newer KTM front brake assembly.

32 mm triples with the 35mm tapered fork tubes ?

Hey I have an 81 model front wheel/brake. Is it a lot better? Brake on my 74 is pretty weak.

Yes. The 32mm clamps have a different offset than the 35mm clamps. With the 32mm clamps, it shortens the wheelbase and makes the bike turn tighter. I had the 32mm clamps machined out for the 35mm clamps.

It just gives the brake lever more leverage, but it's not much better.  Have you tried arcing the brake shoes to fit the drum?
