Default Re: GSXR SRAD brakes fit SV?

Hey, I'm not going racing, I don't need better braking, I need better feel.

As I understand it, the feel is much better with 4 pots than sliding calipers, and it's the getting rid of the 'wooden' feel that I'm after.

For my riding, the standard stopping power is more than sufficient

Better to make the big "ballpark" changes straight away; right forks, right springs, caliper mountings, disc sizes... THEN spend your time to carefully experiment. So far I have in those SRAD forks my 8th iteration of fork valving. Do same for make of brake pad. Choice of clicker settings etc and you can have it just how you like.
For my classic racing this is good, 38-39mm forks are max size in forgotten era, and 41mm is max in formula 80-87, it's all related.
It's also fun the see how far I can take the 12 year old stock forks and shocks, when the fast laps stagnate because of other stuff I'll try different bigger stuff and do the whole ting over again.
Minitwin racing is stock forks to if I remember correct, I read the rules ages ago, we don't have minitwin in Norway, but maybe I'll go down to Germany next year and do a race.

I think I may just leave it as is, as they still stop me bloody quick

As I said before if anyone is interested in an srad project then let me know.

Cheers
