I think we should stop commenting on this post until Bushtroll writes a better question.

I’ve got drums and front disk. I rotate between the pusher and sidecar. When the pusher wears down again (the pusher lasts approx 7,000kms - I have minimal tread left) the front is also worn and I replace all three.

Good year selection. My IPhone doesn’t show your location. If you haven’t, add to your signature block if you would.

Welcome and may you have many long and adventurous rides.

Put down your location in your signature block. There might be folks nearby. Crawford Sales http://www.crawfordsales.info/ is your go to for parts and assistance.

They had a GU camo on display and I immediately recognized its lineage (had never heard of Ural prior and never a desire to own a motorcycle). Sat on it and was grinning ear-to-ear.
