I doubt if it is caused by excessive run-out, it has new front hub bearings,
but I will check that.
It has new brake components throughout (including disks)
The only re-used parts are the M/C which I rebuilt with new rubbers etc, and
the rear brake drums and back plates.
Maybe my M/c is the suspect item ?
I think tomorrow I will blank off the line to the rear brakes and see if I
can get the fronts to work properly on their own. This at least should help
isolate the prblem. They are single line brakes on this one.
