There always a little play in the fork bushes and it might be that .
Try holding the front brake on and with your other hand feel the head stock and rock it if you feel it in the head stock it'll be them

Today... well, this evening... ground some more fibreglass off the airbox so that the tank has a chance of being able to be bolted down at the usual places...

And got a hole in the right place for the throttle cables- shame it's a fair distance from the holes I drilled in earlier, but I can fibreglass those up and make a new aluminium section.
But more progress- it may be running again by the weekend, with a bit of luck.

Fitted cbr 929 calipers

Did you fit the master cylinder too ?

No, thought I'd see how it goes with stock.
Haven't bled them up yet as awaiting new pads.

You may find they won't work. It needs the bigger master cylinder to push enough fluid to the calipers

I have 929's on mine, Storm MC and no probs at all. Maybe I dont abuse them as much as others on here but all ok for me.

Yep you'll easily be able to pull the lever to the bar before you stop !!
You will have much more feel but it won't stop the bike if needed .
Ideal for long term wet weather use as you can just grab the lever and you won't lock it up

Think I'm right in thinking the storms is a 14mm and the 929 is a 17mm and the 954 is a 19mm .
So going by that as grumpy frog says will work not great tho .
But fitting the storms master to the 954 calipers is a no no

Check amcq chart ,

As I said I'll try it first. Can't be any worse than stock.

I'm currently running a too-small radial mc with Blade front end, inc F4i calipers.
The lever comes back to the bars, but will stoppie as it does so; so it's safe enough. However there's no room for fingers, so two-finger braking, or one, isn't possible.

I used it on a recent track day and was concerned that with a little fade I would be in trouble, but it seemed ok.

Needs fixing, though.

fec, another thing to add to the"to do list" then.
