New brakes for the Z

Postby Phil » Sun Dec 02, 2012 1:17 pm

Finally, after them sitting in the shed for months, I got around to putting the new Nissin calipers on the Z.

Big thanks to Tim (was GPX, now Tuono Tim ;) ) for helping me put them on and bleed them up last night. They felt pretty crap on the way home last night, new pads etc not having any real feel but after a run this morning they fell much, much better now :kuda:

Now that an addition I like...big fan of Nissins 8)
It's amazing how 2 similar calipers can be so different.
