Just put a spacer on the top side of the bolt.

Adjust the calipers out a bit more. I can’t see the inside area in your picture. Try to cover the original swept area.

1st picture is a closeup of the outside diameter of the disk and pad relationship.

2nd picture is the inside.

I will cut my bolts down next time the calipers come off. Just need 2mm trimmed off to make it look good.

Thanks for that info. I was going to run a spacer up top but the only ones I have on hand have an OD that's too large for the area. Right now, I have the outside of the pad just a hair further inside the swept area on the rotor than your pic. With the 2.5mm spacers I have I can either leave it where it's at or it'll be flush with the rotor edge so I'm going to order solid spacers that are 8.5 or 9mm to get the placement just right. I was going to cut the bolts down but came across these guys ARP (allensfasteners.com) single bolts for ~$5 and I'm waiting for new brake lines from Galfer so I've got time...phhhttt, like I can ride before May anyhow!

I wish I would have known you were getting new lines. I have a set of stock length stainless lines from Galfer from before I went +2"

Hey, I appreciate the thought, but they were already +2 Galfer lines but just too short with the new radial setup. I figured it was a good chance to get the banjo angle right since the 90 degree wouldn't have been right anymore.

I hope your not planning on using ARP black oxide bolts. They Will rust. I have been in the trade for over 45 yrs.

Nope, my bike is mostly black with some tasteful chrome/SS here and there. All my ARP's are SS.

After all this talk I went out and cut my bolts down 1/8". See what you did here...
