.

I have CBR600F calipers and M/C. brakes are now seriously good..........have a search in workshop under brakes and you will find all my calculations based on the various options out there and it will show you where it needs a bit of metal removed to get it to fit.

+1 big time on this setup, I rode AmCq's bike a week or so back and it's seriously good on brakes.
Having said this he's also running Braking Wave discs or similar, which help as well.

But a lovely swishy sound as they'r applied, which does it for me....

almost as common as those white ones are getting. I think green is the choice for people who want a unique Storm

Saw a Smart car on the A2 in those colours today.......a good colour scheme but hardly a GT40/917/ various other Porsche racers/Mclaren GTR/ various Astons inc. the new LMP1......common as muck really.
