  1. Ohlins Install 9 Feb 2014 09:48 There's a good reason Ohlins is the gold standard in suspension. I'm just too cheap to go for the gold standard. I've had very good luck with Works and Penske. Admittedly not as good as Ohlins, but always a massive…
  2. Rear Preload Adjuster Stiff / Frozen Up 31 Oct 2013 06:30 Thanks, Spinalator for the info! Wilbers starts at about 850 euro. At to that the hydraulic remote preload adjuster and you're done. Had Wilbers before, it's better than my riding skills and last forever. Well, longer…
  3. Rear Preload Adjuster Stiff / Frozen Up 30 Oct 2013 15:26 Price, Pete? I don't plan on keeping replacing one crap design with the same one, warranty or not. Some of us need their bike for transport. Once the bike is sold - hm that KTM 1290R engine should do nicely in something…
  4. Brembo? Brembo! 2 Oct 2013 11:02 BusyLittleShop, very nice indeed! I rode a bike (Aprilia) that had an ex-Corser Lithium rear caliper. Very fancy but not what I wanted to share, no offense of course, as the VFR1200 isn't exactly a track bike. But hey,…
  5. Brembo? Brembo! 25 Sep 2013 18:53 It really is high grade so I have high expectations. I was in direct contact with them back in June and I used other bolts for the front ABS rotor. That's not rusted away yet but the rear was, so I painted it and will…
  6. Brembo? Brembo! 25 Sep 2013 18:35 I'm guessing you ride on wet, salty roads frequently! Did you change the caliper mounting bolts to something more corrosion resistant as well? Yes I do and yes I did. Banjo bolts, pinch bolts, caliper bolts and brake…
  7. Brembo? Brembo! 25 Sep 2013 10:53 vfrflanders, no fix: it comes with its own micro switch so it's just a matter of soldering the new one onto the wiring. I'm very familiar with this switch since it's been used on Aprilias since 1998 so I won't guarantee…
  8. Brembo? Brembo! 24 Sep 2013 19:54 Yep, radial RCS 18-20 brake master. I still have a few 'sweat bands' to choose from to put over that reservoir. That'll do just fine, thanks. :wink:
  9. Brembo? Brembo! 24 Sep 2013 18:31 Not just Brembo. HEL too. And Pro-Bolt for the bolts and banjo bolts. Just a few phone pics for now. Give me 24 hours for better pics on a cleaned bike and a week or more for proper testing wet and dry. Or whatever the…
