Welcome in, used to live in auld reekie when I was a student... It's a fine old town

Now you have stopped lurking you can see if you can join in the banter and even talk about the bike if you have to.

CBR 600 brakes are a good improvement

Nice Place though. Been pissed in the Black cat too many times.

Wet cobbles indeed, but only in the city centre and I tend to avoid that regardless of road surface as it's riddled with traffic lights, bus lanes, etc.

Lucky for me I'm on the edge of the city so few reasons to ride into the centre

Nice, I'm far West of the city near the bypass (M8 end) and on a silver bike with Venom cans (loud!) and Renthals. Give me a shout if you see me!

What are you riding?

Thanks mate. I already have the F4i master cylinder as the original brakes were terrible and I was worried the lever would hit the bar in an emergency stop even after a good flush with new brake fluid. Still in two minds as to whether to upgrade the calipers, going to try new pads first and if that doesn't do it I'll look to source a set of F4i calipers too.

you have a pm fella.
