Default Re: Better front brake

Hey brakes still going strong, thought I'd report
Oh, and I'm using the SV everyday since then as my little commuter (a hyosung 125SM) has busted a timing chain. Lucky Nothing else went caput. Waiting for parts at the moment, not to worry as it's giving me some time to get real acquanted again with the SV. Not really needed mind you as I've just did over 3000km around Sicily lately two up on the brave SV. Kept up with a friend riding solo on a CBR600RR most of the time but on the third day had to give up the chase as it's tiresome averaging 160-200km/h days at a stretch. Also the wind was cruel to the wife, her perched up high on that rear seat. Me riding with the head slightly raised to provide some shielding works for a while but the constant struggle with the wind makes things pointless. We went to have fun after all and not to race. Sorry for being a spoiler of my own thread, just can't stop blabbing about Sicily. Go there if you can guys, great weather, great roads and you'll eat like kings. Oh and whatever you do don't miss riding up Etna from the south road. Heaven.
