Looks like you are calling me Mik :)

Price is decent compared to vesrah, I am tempted to try them.

try them and you will not go back.....

Do a search on Google and you will see that they are universally loved by those who have tried them. They were developed by a former HRC test rider and are designed for stainless rotors, which production bikes have.

Don`t get me wrong, Vesrah are great pads, it`s just that these are better..... The work well in teh wet too (unlike some other high perf pads which require heat to work). They are also said to be easy on rotors (can`t vouch for the latter as I had to swap them out for Ferodos whne I installed the CMC rotors)

That front end is beautiful, really like how the tank protector in black blocks off half the tank.
Well done for taking the plunge!

Looking forward to reading your comments :) Be sure to scrub your rotors properly and prepare to enjoy a new level of braking....

Bummer !

Went for a reasonable ride on Sunday and all was good until I noticed fluid on my right boot. First I thought it might be brake fluid, it was fork oil !

Bike is now apart for a new seal. My spring compressor isn't strong enough for the so I have arranged for a local trustworthy bike shop fit the new seal.

Hope there is nothing wrong with the fork, just a coincidence that the seal blew.

By the way I continued my ride and thoroughly enjoyed it. Even with a blown seal it is a different bike.

Waiting !

Surgery!

Fork is out and oil draining, Shite ! Now I have to locate the spare seal that I have in amongst the clutter in the Man Cave.

I want this sorted so I can enjoy my "New Bike"'this weekend.

Cheers :beer: :beer:
