Hi again,
Can anyone recommend a complete front disc conversion kit for a series 3 li125 Special (now 185) I want to keep with the original style lever and light switch setup but would also like the anti dive facility. Any views and comments please.

If your wanting keeping the original lever then semi hyldrolic is the only option I believe (I stand too be corrected)

Hi,
Sorry , what I meant was I didn't want to go for the black type lever just the polished alloy type.

This is not a recommendation, but you seem to be asking for Reader suggestions as, actually, this is the type of thing you wish to include:

Do you want a master cylinder on your headset? Normal outboard ones comprise of an adapted light switch housing [you have to remove the existing one] with a Black master cylinder attached to it, the brake lever can be Black or polished. ScootRS ones no longer appear to be available, they had a polished lever, most are only selling the Sterling / Spaq ones these days and they come as standard with a Black lever, although they do sell a polished lever separately.

Also now available is an adapter that bolts onto your existing light switch housing [saves you having to remove your existing light switch and wiring], again these are Sterling / Spaq items that have Black master cylinder and lever.

If you want to leave your headset untouched then you need to go for a hidden master cylinder.

Sterling also produce a hydraulic inboard disc [to suit drum links] again with options of headset mounted master cylinder or hidden master cylinder. This is the nearest you'll get to standard looks.
