Tank Slap - Motorcycle Forum

What a cock. Hope they turn up tomorrow and you get it out for a blast whilst the weather is so nice.

So I got suited up today and went for another blast , the tyres have scrubbed in ok and actually seem ok .I dont think it helped that the front only had 20 psi in so with a bit more air it worked a lot better. Had a good run out and the bike felt good it handles well and turns in nicely and is stable mid corner I think with a few tweaks it will be awesome. The bike has so much stomp in any gear it's hard to get my head round it the moment. The brakes are not good i think the front discs are shot with heavy braking I'm getting pulses from the lever. I had a quick look when i got home but it looks like at some stage the pads have been low and put a grove or two in the disc.

Doing a bit of looking tonight and found these

My German is crap, but so long as it's a pair they look good to me.
Bike looks ace

That's very very cheap for a pair. If it is I would snap them up, however its most likely per disc.

I have Braking discs on the SP and there very good.

Just translated the info its per disc.

Have you tired BIke Torque Racing, Rocket they are very good for brakes.

Here you go Rocket, spend 150 more and have a set of discs and wheels complete.

One set for winter / damp road conditions and another for sunny days and track days.

Ebay item number.

Sorry I should have had my two cups of coffee before posting!

I need a couple two Frankie.

I m not sleeping well at the moment (5 hours interrupted is good at moment) and heading into Wales for the day.

I'll do what I did in Europe. Every full fill up. Red bull and chocolate for me

cheers guys i knew it was one , i can get cheap wavy discs but that's whats on they don't seem the best quality that's the cheapest decent brand i can find.

I have thought about buying a set of wheels with discs but like second hand discs if there warped , pitted etc.. they just destroy another set of pads and I'm not sure the price reflects the risk. As people want at least 100 for a set of used discs.

EBC discs are supposed to be pretty good and they're not badly priced.

I'm very pleased with my ebc disks. Very good quality, decent price too. Not cheap but cheaper than some and most of all safe. This is braking after all....

Ebc seem expensive but I know there good. I called the place I got the bike from and he was surprised he tried a little fob off but when I stood my ground he said he would sort me out what this means I don't know but fingers crossed it will work out.

That sounds promising. New discs and pads would be ace.

Definitely eight million % don't buy cheap discs IMO.

Your life could depend on such a decision.

just called the dealer and he is going to send a set of discs and pads through :-) can not fault that service.

That's the best you could ask for.

What a top bloke. Its people like that you keep going back too.

Which dealer was it ?

Result rocket. That's top service from the dealer [SMILING FACE WITH OPEN MOUTH]
