You need twitter,

Crutchlow is complaining that he wants them too. He is having brake fade problems.
Stoner drops in and says he tried the new ones and they were shit. He went back to the old ones.

All jokes aside... he wants the ones he had on his old factory honda, seems there are many different types..
From what ive read, brembo build them to riders needs. and dovi wants what he had... his choice i suppose, whatever he's comfortable with..

Trust me wattie, nissin's arnt as good as u all seem to rate them here.... and yes ive got them on both my bikes, only cause i havent fitted brembo's yet..

Me remember........... but all jokes aside AGAIN, nissin's are ok... not the god fearin brakes some here say so.... or else i would have crashed on them many times. cause i know shit........
All im sayin,,,, there ok........
When i changed brakes, i only did for one reason, and that was to keep a full lever for a hole session, with the toks they pulled up the same, fuck at turn 4 at PI i was still getting the rear off the ground, so they must be working ok.. the only reason i changed them was i didnt like the lever coming back to the bar after to 2 laps, simple.... they still worked.. sort of :lol: :lol: but as i said before wattie i know shit.........

We know you know shit, youve told us.

Ive run them back to back, they are mch better than tokikos, and the brembo's ive used werent much chop, but they were no monoblocks.

For stock calipers, nissins are the bomb
