When you say spirited ride are you still having to slow down and stop at times? If so I wouldn't have thought overheating would be the problem:-/[/qulote] Yep riding in London, stupid fast then stop, stupid fast stop etc. |

Wait till you get 50 years of riding experience, then the brakes get hard and agressive. What? You been on the gin?! Only twenty five years in the saddle come rain or shine... Mostly rain to be fair! |

Those radials are bloody lovely, although can't find any cheap enough at moment, so will have to wait... Had a blast on mates bandit today, 2005 model. Has same calipers as mine. Brakes are rock solid.... Am I right in thinking that the six pots are fitted to post 2000 bandits? I have a matching set of front master cylinders from a 2003 bandit that I'm gonna try to see if they improve.. If this don't work I'm going to have to wait to sort them out properly as clip ons ordered so have to make it look pretty before it stops.. Priorities and all that  |

Pretty sure your right about the calipers being after 2000, agree with what was said about using calipers from a 955i or similar triumph

Or these. They are exceptionally good calipers.   The pad options for them are endless too. |

I used to own a 600 one and took that to plenty of track days including Snetterton several times...and apart from changing the pads the standard calipers never faded or gave any problems |
