Brakes and forks....

I finally got around to fitting my new Beringer 4 pot caliper, wavey disc and shortened / revalved full height forks to my HR Baggy. The brake feels strong and the forks give better feedback although I need to spend more time setting up .....weather has been really grim ooop north lately.....and I'm getting a bit soft in my old age.

Just wanted to say a big thank you to Wonky for the parts, which he let me have for a very fair price, and dispatched promptly. Same goes for the service from Slipstream for the odds and sods I ordered for oil change ....spot on.

Forks were serviced, shortened and revalved by Chris at Endurotech who turned them around in about a week and has done a great job.....oh and thanks to the Mrs who paid for the work as an early crimbo pressie :-)

Hahahaha! Perhaps i should read before i type questions. Wicked buddy i'm so glad you've got it sorted. Whysub is on the case and will have his project under way very very soon, i can't wait. Mine is finally so close to complete build buddy, those bits i promised you will on there way to you for xmas mate. I've got a brand new GRP front guard for your bike, you'll need to have it painted and you might need to nibble some off at the back to fit your Mastiff but it'll make your bike look more aggressive at the front, it actually sets off the standard clock shroud off really well! I'll try and get you some images of the trick bits as soon as i can mate, honestly i'm soooooo close to completing my bike and when it's done we ALL have to meet for a MAD day out!!! Glad your brake is providing you with the stopping power your bike deserves. And as for the help it's my pleasure mate, some-ones gotta help us MZ owners out!!! :-D

Hi
I used an R1/R6 disc straight bolt on mod. Beringer 4 Pot with a one off bracket supplied by Wonky / Slipstream (very straight forward plate steel item which any engineering shop could make) ...... all secondhand and ready to go so no messing about for me :) . I also fitted a KTM duke master cylinder which is better quality Brembo unit than the original Grimreaper item. It also gives adjutstable reach and is fairly cheap ....... I believe that the Brembo radial pump is the best if you have the cash though.
