Panic and four fingers has been replaced by real two-finger braking with low effort and excellent modulation, still using the stock caliper and disc.JBB2https://www.blogger.com/profile/06602110471124850169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1560521630633728472.post-81362447561681936772011-06-15T20:32:31.901+01:002011-06-15T20:32:31.901+01:00Hi Drogo, going through similar issues on mine.

Just need to figure out what model as not sure they post to UK it'd cost big bucks anyway if they did.Chester Belterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06727303063343156012noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1560521630633728472.post-53155387973980834932011-06-15T15:51:12.027+01:002011-06-15T15:51:12.027+01:00Don't you love it when a plan comes together? ...Don't you love it when a plan comes together? One note of caution though before there's a mass rush to dechrome early Jap discs, the steel underneath the chrome is very coarse (relatively speaking) and hence doesn't allow the pads to grip the full surface area and it destroys the pads (I tried it on a Morini and the pads fell apart inside 3,000 miles). Skim the disc first and braking bliss will be yours.Harleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08136579261885780145noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1560521630633728472.post-14754755610111721252011-06-15T12:39:23.687+01:002011-06-15T12:39:23.687+01:00Ben you have excelled yourself this week!Ben you have excelled yourself this week!Anthony Brownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15951355558358452864noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1560521630633728472.post-23862993875230546392011-06-15T08:52:54.974+01:002011-06-15T08:52:54.974+01:00Sweet - sounds like love to me ....Sweet - sounds like love to me ....Diplomatehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03941539934835529453noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1560521630633728472.post-34846067165695356892011-06-15T08:47:39.204+01:002011-06-15T08:47:39.204+01:00Did I miss something?????????Did I miss something?????????Nickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06389347071602256226noreply@blogger.com
