That was using a Scoot R S disc, a Grimeca would have added another two hundred or so. Also I made my (full hydraulic) bracket to take the master cylinder - similar to what Scooter-Center sells for about EUR35. Finally I used a PK shock (YSS) which is already 45mm shorter and has the same mounting as a PX shock.
