Steve R: weather? Yes, it is a bit rainy and cold, but that is to be expected in December here in the UK. Enough said.
update: Forks replaced and alls well... Just need some decent weather to give them a go, although a new master cylinder may be on the cards before then!! accossato possibly!!
Sorry to re-open a potential nagging wound but... I see that you have replaced the original 4 pad axial calipers with vastly inferior 848/Monster radial calipers. IMHO, a definite retrograde step in braking capability.
Forks look good cassclaye.Im still debating going the radial brakes route.Let us know if you find the whole set up a big improvement over previous one.If so I will have to get round to fitting these with some new fork bottoms and disks later this year.
