Better Brakes Required!!
Had the new Bike out, it needs way better brakes, Has a 31/27 head pro ported and 40 s on it, 1500 mtc block, ect. I have a brembo caliper on the rear but the discs are aftermarket pmfr, are there better brake discs available. My old Ducati had some amazing brakes back in 1975 bremboes. I couldnt find if brembo makes bolt on discs for such a old Japanese Bike. Any Tips Guys ? Thanx MikeTags: None

When you say you 'had the new bike out, does that mean at the track or do you ride this thing on the road?
Sounds like a lot of fun.

I take it down the Road. It is a Track bike though no lights (well a Velcro brake battery light on the rear carbon fibre body ) it blinks does things ha ha I think it was for a bicycle. Neighbours really hate it!!

Ray I have PMFR discs and grimeca caliper, Just one, Id like to put a brembo setup on it, Its too fast . We have a rough track and good brakes would really help .

Then switch to a dual disc front. There are too many people that don't have enough brake on their bike because they are trying to save weight. I can't believe the tracks that let guys run with NO rear brake set at all on their bikes! My small tire SLOW bike has dual 8" pro stock front brakes with a 10" rear rotor.

I will have to second the Saltymonk's brake upgrade, have it on mu Kat and took it out the other weekend after not riding it for some time and the brakes impressed me.
A very good upgrade.Current Bikes.... 81,1230Kat, 86,GSXR1100, 86,RG500, :D

Twin Disc Upgrade
I did a twin disc upgrade with good pads ,Still when I would brake super hard they werent very good as to my ducati with brembo brakes, Those bremboes would easily outbrake the dual disc gs 1000 I had many years ago. Anyhow too bad brembo soesnt make a bolt on type kit. They were amazing brakes PERIOD!!!Mike

I have a Ducati/Brembo caliper off of a 916. With the saltymonk mod, there was not enough clearance between the back of the caliper and the rim. His mod with steel brake lines and HH pads works very well.Originally posted by madmikeracing View PostI did a twin disc upgrade with good pads ,Still when I would brake super hard they werent very good as to my ducati with brembo brakes, Those bremboes would easily outbrake the dual disc gs 1000 I had many years ago.
