The callipers are actually R6 2006? model, not many realise the R6 callipers are the same as the R1 only the master cylinder and the size of disks are different. The current Z1R brakes are both powerful without being grabby and they have lots of "feel" (although I'm sure if I grabbed a handful it might be a different story, lets hope I never find out).
Good luck or marry Les's sister.

I wasn't smart enough to know what it was! :laugh:Bozo wrote: Funny, no-one noticed the 50cent coin glued to the rear brake calliper, I tried to buy special labels but each cost about $5, so I glued an Oz 50 cents and looks great, if I run out of fuel I now have spare change (if I can get it off).
P.S the the tax employees, don't dob me in
