  1. I’m not sure on that specific caliper but the Brembo Goldline jobs with four bolts are 28 - 32 plus blue thread lock iirc. Possibly because they are up front with higher forces? I originally got the spec from the UK Brembo distributors.

  2. Yes I appreciate they serve that purpose, as well as providing a seal. I didn't mention it as I thought that was a given.

  4. So as I wait for some fairly major parts to arrive, I managed to finish off a few little jobs today, the first of these being the cooling system and this the last pipe in the SAMCO kit. The diameter is too large to use the stock wire clips so I used JCS stainless steel 9.5-12 clips instead.

    De-pinned the connector for the oil pressure sensor, in order to fit this "Amp Tyco" rubber gaiter. With this done, all the RHS lower wiring is now complete.

    Took the opportunity to fit the newly clear coated clutch cover. Torqued to 5Nm.

    Hopefully I should get around to fitting the fuel tank in the next couple of days, whilst I also tackle wiring up the bar end indicators and the rest of the front loom. Unfortunately I am waiting on some parts to allow me to fit the front wheel which means I can then remove the front paddock stand, as I need to be able to move the steering from lock to lock to check cable routeing and that there is enough free play and no snagging.

  5. So with the tear down having started on the 23rd September, I am pleased with the rate of progress so far. 62 days in and counting, from a bare engine to where I am at now. I won't go as far as to predict a completion date, but this is shaping up to be the quickest build I have done thus far.

  7. Not much opportunity to work on the bike today, other than fitting a "Throttle Spacers" kit, which removes any slop and makes a noticeable difference. I fitted one on the last bike and was very pleased with it.

    I did at least receive a few more parts, so hope to have the tank on tomorrow evening.

  8. The custom bracket to allow me to use the Evotech tail tidy with the Termignoni system, is currently tasked to a local engineering company, who have made one-off parts for me before. It might be that they opt to produce a new exhaust bracket (similar to the one I designed, albeit as a dimensional sketch) that attaches directly to the tail tidy or modify the design of the tail tidy itself (which means incorporating the bracket for the exhaust directly into it), either as a bolt on element or machining completely new tail tidy halves from billet using CAD, where the bracket is integral.

    Currently only Rizoma make a tail tidy that is designed to work with the D200 exhaust system, but unlike the Evotech version, it is much larger and the wiring is exposed to the indicators, so it is not as neat and compact a solution. Deciding to stick with Evotech, has made the job a lot more complicated but I think it will be worth the effort.

  9. Little bit more done today as still waiting on more parts. Fitted the MotoGadget bar end indicators which is a very fiddly job, as you have to thread the wires to each indicator through the handlebars and out through the 3mm hole I pre-drilled under the bars, then I bought some 3mm sleeving to protect the wires and routed them over the air intake duct. They will sit in the void under the front subframe so that there is enough slack in the wires when you turn the handlebars but I'll check this properly once the front wheel is back on.

    Here's the wiring to the indicators, which will largely be hidden by the front subframe. Lots more to tidy up, but it is getting there. I've got to solder on the pigtail connectors so that they'll connect directly to the OEM plugs on the front loom, but that will have to wait until they arrive.
