Brakes do more than slow you down YC, or not if it's an SV

Lighter discs are supposed to be advantageous to handling. I rarely used my SV's brakes but the Braking Wavy's looked fabulous IMO.

Anyway what problem is Dave numbers gonna have? They make the rest of the bike look tired maybe?

I must have missed that part of my vehicle design course, what else do brakes do?
Lighter discs are good for handling, suspension etc. but for the difference in weight between a heavy disc and a light one I doubt you or I could notice.

Problem Dave might have is speedo needle wibbling due to changing frequency from odd disc magnet spacing.

Stoppy is just what happens when F(static,rear) - (Mass*Decel*H)/wheelbase = 0

Which is function of slowing down, quickly

Further, the stock master is the same Brembo item used on most bikes upto the radial revolution... incase you thought it was a cheaper item?



Anyway, dave, how are the disc's? Everything back together?

One other question, how long you have to wait for order to be delivered?

Cheers!
