Were they the four pot nissins Leanne? I've heard a few people rubbish the Toks and go for those.

Yeah, that's what I did for my ZX12, ditched the radial Tokicos for a set of ZX14 Nissins!

I'm trying to find reco kits for the MC and calipers but am having trouble identifying them both to find the parts. I've found some resources suggesting the 6 pot Tok's are prone to mineral deposits pitting the piston and requiring a full caliper replacement.

I'm back at the track in two weeks so if I can't get reco kits for the calipers and MC I'll throw the stock one back on and see how it goes.
I think the m/c is a 19x21, the last reco kit I got was from these guys:

you could also try some of the places in the states or canada.
God knows what you are on about? 19 means the piston size 18 means the ratio of the lever . ?
it must truely suck to be as cranky as you are all the time.
