You still got those ISR disks? that would be the hot ticket there.Just a few pics of the brakes before I go through them.
I forgot about those. I'll find them and take a look. They were pretty beat up.You still got those ISR disks? that would be the hot ticket there.
That's what I've read so I'm keeping an eye out looking for a set. Thanks for the confirmation.With slicks you really have to have tire warmers to get them up to working temperatures. If you ride on them cold, they don't have as much grip.
I thought the Shinko slicks were intended for drag racing, not roadracing/trackdays. Have they changed that recommendation? I have never seen them at the track. I would be very leery of using them. Metzler and Bridgestone make trackday slicks that can be used without warmers. I suspect they will last longer and be stickier than most people need, compared to race specific slicks. I race on the Bridgestone DOT tires and don't use warmers. I am putting the Bridgestone slicks on next but only because they last longer than the DOTs. I am sure they will not help me go any faster since there are lots of riders faster than I am on the same DOT tires.
Yeah, rebuilding brakes suuucks but it's great when it's all done. Finally got in the 45T rear sprocket so I put my torque wrench to good use and finished up the rear wheel. Need to find a compatible front tire. I'm still waiting on brake pads and a thing or two to wrap up the brakes, it's pretty close now. I also found that I had 6 nice caliper bolts so I went and drilled them for safety wire. A little at a time I'm getting stuff done.Ha, I just did a Pilot caliper that looked something like that.
NICE!Looks like no more leaks and it's running again after my ham handed rebuild so that makes me happy.
