Advice for a newbie with the modding bug!!

[Jonesy154]

Hi all finally joined the forum after doing my gf head in reading on here all the time! Got myself an xs250 1981 special for £260 off eBay got her home got her running and got her in pieces! All in a weekend now for the fun stuff, I'm planning a bobber build with a motocross style theme so I've got the aprilia rs125 front forks on it now and have the bearing swapped in the stock wheel and the rs125 caliper and disc/rotor ready to fit but I'm stuck on whats the safest option, space out the rotor so it meets the caliper or make a bracket for the caliper to move it towards the disc?? Any help would be much appreciated

What size is your rear wheel? 16"?

Btw do you already have some spacers on the front?

Looks like a good start.

Yes it's a 16" and getting the spacers for the wheel cut tomorrow as it's all loosely fitted at the mo, once the wheel is spaced I can try and work out what to about the disc and caliper don't wanna space the caliper really but wanna do it the safest way
