In answer to your questions:-

The wavy disc works extremely well and significantly better than stock in the dry.  It has not rained yet so can't comment on wet weather performance.  The front brake set-up consists of a stripped and rebuilt caliper, Vesrah sintered metallic pads Ref VD1020F (FA13) available from A J Sutton.co.uk  PDQ braded hose and Yamaha XT600 master cylinder.

The front fender was supplied by Mead Speed (www.meadspeed.com) described as a Maxton front mudguard 120mm wide.  It is bolted to the 4 original mounting points for the stock fender.  I did have to reshape the fender to my taste.

Air filters are supplied by RamAir (http://ramair-filters.co.uk/mr-pod-filters).  Main jets increased from the stock 75 to 80, supplied by David Silver Spares (www.davidsilverspares.co.uk).

Plug colour is fine.

I bought the jets over the phone!

I hope these photos help.
