Well I have a bit of a crazy idea for this winter which involves a custom pipe and tail end for the 999 Something along the lines of this Radical Ducati..
Fortunately I ride only for fun and pleasure and as I can get neither of them from getting cold and wet, I'll leave winter to the commuters and couriers thanks. Anth
Well today I decided the monoblocks were going on the 848 (thanks Nog) and as I was fitting some new lines I thought why not do it.
Cheers, Yeah I'll try to remember i've changed them before the cartwheel. I have rode with them on a 1098s before tho, I'm more wary of the behaviour of the SBS Dual Carbon pads in them. Anth
Oh god... I did this when I picked up my 1098S. It was raining, coming up to a bend, brown trouser moment! Got used to it now, but by god, shows how far they have come since the blocks on the 748/916 which are still great even by todays production standards lol.
Yeah the 1098's stopping power is nearly as eye poppingly scary as it's acceleration is first time out.
It is still summer down here in the south, I got sunburnt today taking youngest to Pony Club, spent all day in a field, thought I was well covered, now I have a stupid sunburn v from my jumper.
No for what you gain in brakes you loose in weight the pre evo calipers are lighter... I opted for less rotating mass and pre evo calipers . If you think m4's are good don't try gp4rx's with t-drive discs a new dimension in stopping power! Looks good though Anth nice lines..
Venhill are great also really helpful when my grey import needed lines making .. brilliant for making stuff. I had an Orange bike with matching Orange venhills .. I really like their lines. Next ones I will try is Hel lines I think. Don't wish to pee in your paddling pools but (I don't believe this myself) its sposed to snow and do all that cold stuff again up North then spread Southwards Weds onwards!! I thought it was an april fools Severe weather wearning as temperatures plummet 20C - Telegraph I heard from a friend in Scando and they have had snow today.... after it being warm as well.
