a little more on the gunter brake below

designed by Al Gunter, one of if not the 1st disc brakes for a motorcycle
reduced unsprung weight by 20lbs over drum brakes of the period

Al Gunter was not only one of the great motorcycle racers of his era, but also worked at Bell, and designed the first full face helmet

500 head on a 650, gunter brake and some un-conventional mods
