callipers are radial 4 pot and well serviced. i done a complete strip and overhaul every year till about 4 years ago and since then i have only done about 2k miles. first two sets of discs were black shadow then a set of ebay specials. i have now put EBC on and i'll see how they go. BTW the pistons in the radial callipers are coated so dont rust. i have replace bearings, spindle, wheels etc.etc.

brakes are now nice and smooth, so far.

i'm not heavy on my brakes unless i need to be.

bike is running but still a bit hesitant at WOT and bogs down. i hope its just stale fuel.
