Very nice

I also noticed the rear sets had them long? What do you think of them? I love mine sooooo much better than standard!

I forgot about the rearsets

Fitted them a fortnight ago. They're a little further back than the standard controls + relocation plates that I had, which I don't entirely like, but other than that they're ace. The feel from the gear lever is just nicer, much more solid. They're Valter Moto, type 1 I think.

Yep the same as mine had them for about a year now and love them

Oooh thats good to know.

I've ordered a set of Type 1's from intobikes a while back. Still waiting tho.........

Always loved the look of the Dymags Northy, very

. Stroke of luck with the fitting too.
I wouldn't think it'll be tooo long before you get a rear to match on good ol' ebay. Keep 'em crossed.

You got lucky there Northwind, but there was still a lot of work to be done. Can't personally see the difference with the wheel as the discs are so big but then that's my rummy eyes.

Wavy discs next?

I had wavys before, never really took to them. I can see me sticking with these, they work perfectly well and they make an excellent noise

Wasn't thinking of any improvement in braking, but the fact it would then turn even quicker.

Love the hisssssssssssssssssssss of some bike brakes

Yep, very true... Then, the Brakings aren't massively lighter than good standard discs like Brembo. The SP-1 OE ones are about 200g for the set heavier than the GSXR Brakings, though all the weight will be in the friction surface rather than the carrier so that does make it more of a difference.

Hey, if I can find a set of cheap Braking carriers for the SP I can probably swap the rotors.... Hmm. Off to Visordown Wanted we go
