I still want to come down one Friday, but the next two weeks I think are out as my band has a gig coming up that we need to practice for. Friday is our practice evening.

Probably. Tokicos, 90mm mounting hole spacing. Fitted to loads of Kwaks and Suzukis of the time. Generally regarded as not being very good.

That's a relative term I think. Everyone expected the 6 pots on the YZF to be outstanding. They were not. They were just as good as the 4 pots. They were however still bloody good at stopping. The issue came to how quickly if not maintained they became ineffective. A lot of people changed them for 4 pots because the 4 pots were just as good but with two less pots per calliper less maintenance and less cost when or if it became a requirement to service or replace parts.

This is one of the things I was concerned about with the 750 but having just serviced them today, I was very much pleased to see they have been given the attention they require to ensure they remain effective. After a change of fluid and a bit of a clean up around the pistons, they are back to as they should be.
