Still deciding about sorting the front out. Got demon brakes that I can't use!

I only knew Bitubo from the forks they did for the S1000RR when they first came out at around £6k
so I was surprised what good value the twin shocks are. I really didn't want to spend loads on a 55hp 215KG (dry) bike
I've had bikes when I've just done the rear and for me it's a waste, the front pogoing or shuddering over bumps still upsets the bike. For £100 on decent springs and oil set up for your weight/riding, it adds the finishing touch to the suspension. But the Speed Twin has a cartidge setup already hasn't it? Is it the same as the T120, only one fork has the cartridge in?? Seems a weird old set up.
I've just bought a 3 pot caliper to replace the 2 pot. Can't say it's going to be demon
but better I hope. Went to look at changing the brake lines, you have to remove the swingarm and air box to get to the ABS system.
think I'll stick with the Triumph ones for now
