im not going to argue because im to hung over but no are calipers are wa*k, they fade like made when pushing hard as well as giving no feel and not hugly powerfull eaither.

tbh from what you and others have made out id expect 1920's drum brakes would still impress you if they look nice. You dont ride on track or push your bike overly hard (as said by you plenty of times) unlike me who dos ride on track and dos try to ride fast thus im in a better postion to say if the calipers are good or not, and no the standard 6 pots on are bikes are wa*k.

thats fine mate,

i've never said im a track rider, i would never take my bike on a track cuz i wouldnt wanna bin it with void insurance

on the road, my brakes are 100 times better since i added the brembo mc, and i can pull the 7r up using one finger in as short a distance as pretty much any other sports bike out there - which is impressive being that my bike weighs as much as the average family car!

i think this is an area where we should agree to disagree. maybe if i put my bike on the track the brakes would be awful, but this site is primarily made up of road riders so i feel my experience and advice is just as valid

in regards to shifting your stinking hangover, i suggest a macdonalds brekkie!

nope there GSXR1000 calipers, although they look alot the same there FAR better they used better quility parts and a far better desighn. Plus the mount spacing is bigger. If i could afford them id buy ZX7RR nissin calipers for the TL (same spacing as the zx7r) as they are lovely looking and very powerfull, they also used them on the MV F4 but different spacing. Very few of them floating about tho due to them only going on the sp model.

Cheers for the tip gem think i'll head over for egg and bacon muffin asap :smt003

One really effective way of improving the braking performance of your bike is to avoid fry ups and the big golden M
