as the caliper mounts have no provision for adjustment (as on a radial set-up which allows you space them in or out, or as on the SP-1/SP-2 which use an adaptor bracket between the fork lower and calipers), youa re left with little choice, IMO, but to use the 330mm rotors that came on both the 929 and 954. While these may offer a few disadvantages (namely more limited availability, slightly increased weight and gyroscopic effect), they will provide maximum stopping power (same size rotors as Duc 1098/1198/1199 FWIW)....... Prepare to be launched into orbit (or feel as though you will be) the first time you use them (assuming your pads are halfway decent anyhow; again, makes no sense to get nice components and then ruin their effectiveness with sub-par/budget pads)...
