Whats playing with the forks going to change?

You've got the wrong thickness pads no?

Right footprint...wrong thickness of pad material.

Or what am i missing?

Nah, those are the right pads. EBC HH FA229, IIRC. I had the same ones in mine.

Unlikley as that is a good amount of friction material, its not part of the casting thats protruding as the caliper is a floating unit and the bit that is sticking out does not move as its fixed to the fork leg and only the caliper body moves, but only a little, bits always run close to the disk, somtimes by a few mm.

Did you find out what the problem is?

What pads(make are you using). Post up the Part number if you can as someone may be able to double check you have the right pads.

Alternatively can you post up a pic of the pad showing the rear of pads when installed in the calipers ie other side that can be seen in your first pic.

Right I've just gone out and got a set of caliper I've got lying around. It's been ages since I looked at a standard caliper.

Anyhows I think your problem may be the pistons may be stuck.

EDIT: Scrap that , I've had another look/think and I'm convinced the problem is pad related(backing plate too thick. It may appear counter-intuitive but think that's the problem. I've also done a comparison with a set of Nissin pads I've got and appears's that is the case. A pic would probably explain it better.

Good won't have the number, but he got the pads off me... I might have an unopened pack still, I could get the number off that- but I got 3 packs at the same time and fitted one just fine.

Its nothing to do with the pads or caliper at alll.

It cant be as its not the caliper thats damaging the disk, its the bracket which is a fixed item onto the fork leg eg making the fork leg the place to look.

This is great, it's like Guess Who.

Not trying to imply you're a numpty but did you remove the front wheel for any reason, if so did you put the spacer back in.

Thanks again for all the replies - sorry I've not been about this savo to get back to you all, been busy with work stuff but I'm hoping to get out tonight and have a play. Tried the initial routine that Sid mentioned, didn't work so am going to trying HARDER!!! as suggested

FWIW, that side isn't the ones you sent me Northy, they are Armstrong HH I got for the other side. Will check codes when home.

Have had the front wheel off Foey but am pretty sure the spacer is there!
