I thought in the print article they mentioned that the spridget and B
shared the same bore on the M/C so it wasn't an issue...

The part that got me was that they couldn't justify having done this
other than to say that they wanted bigger brakes. They freely
admitted that the stock disk brakes were up to the job, but they
went ahead and added unsprung weight to the front suspension
anyway. They said nothing about any modifications to the MC to
compensate for the greater volume of fluid needed for the bigger
brakes, although I think that could be an issue on a Spridget.
