i now remember why i fitted them to my zzr1100 when i had that.
(note to self..get some r1 brakes on the storm..somehow )

i had r1 brake on my fj1200,with a 14mm master cylinder the brakes were far superior to the storm brakes,that is one thing i miss off my fj1200

God damn you sir! having the sheckles to play with other bikes and keep the Storm

i swapped the r1 for it yesterday,

i worked it out the r1 owed me about Â£2200 altogether.(plus i sold some goodies of it before i swapped it)
so i just did a straight swap,
i think he got the slighty better bike,and i would of liked maybe Â£100-Â£150 aswell as the mille,as i think the yam is worth slightly more??

but i was smitten as soon as i rode it.ohhhh its good!!!!!!!

it has t+t near enough the same as the r1,and came with lots of bills.
plus it has only just clocked 13,000 miles today,the r1 had 20,500 miles on the clock when i swapped it.
so far so good.

I am hoping to do the same, stay away from dealers and trade my way up to an SP. probably fail at the first hurdle
