Downloading pictures is done using the "Upload attachment" tab when you are writing a reply or posting a new topic from the text editor.

At the bottom of the screen you will see that the default tab is "Options" while the "Upload attachment" tab is the only other available and just to the right.

I will upload the photo as Nils sent me the picture earlier today.

Warning: Prepare to lust after this bike!

Very cool bike! Looks like a proper period cafe racer done in the early 70's, I like the Conti megaphone
I think you were asking about the front brake, it looks like one I was watching on Ebay

from an Indian Velocette

hard to tell but it looks like your whole front end might have came from a Velocette
welcome to the forum

Wow! I think you nailed the brake ID.

What a healthy price it sold for too.

So seemingly if we could see the other side of the hub we would see two brake arms alerting us that the shoe has two leading shoes (2LS.)

Nils, this is a good thing for you as the original front brake was only a single leading shoe and could get you into trouble...

I once had to climb on the brakes very hard to avoid running through a quick-to-change red light. The cross street I was in danger of entering was four lanes of 50 mph (80 Kph) heavy traffic. The single leading shoe on the front was not doing enough and I did not want to lock it up and risk a tip-over crash. I was on the front brake almost to the point of locking the tire and I was intermittently locking up and sliding the rear as I tried to get maximum braking without loosing control. Fortunately I came to a stop in time.

Having a 2LS front brake will serve you well.

Jes the hole front end exept the lamp is different its a ceriani
Fork .... to make it fit i had to create a steering blockade so not to destroy the paint or eaven the hole tank .....
Thers another special some one weldet tubings under the motor and extendet the swing arm bolt with an extra bearing on the framerisers....
And there is a excenter at the rearwheelbase.. so i can remove the wheel without opening the chain ....
But finding the right position and to line up the wheel with the chassis is difficult as
