Simbec1863 Posted November 13, 2018 Author Share Posted November 13, 2018 Time to sort the crappy brakes and front end so forks are coming out and the brakes need a fettle, want to get this sorted before track day season next year. Got some spare slingshot wheels so plan to stick them in with some modern rubber to see if that sorts the handling, tedancy to wallow through corners. Also got some spare Nissin callipers off a slingshot that I might rebuild and fit with some newer discs Will keep the original wheels for road use and the odd ride out in the summer, that's the plan anyway....upgrades on the cheap 1 Quote Link to comment

GsxrCol Posted November 20, 2018 Share Posted November 20, 2018 The nissins make a massive difference to the braking power, I went to 20w oil and a smaller air gap in the forks to compensate. 1 Quote Link to comment

Simbec1863 Posted March 2, 2019 Author Share Posted March 2, 2019 (edited) Track day at Donny today should have been on the blandit but it won’t behave so took the slabby instead,practice is practice at the end of the day. She ran like a dream and the Maxton forks are ace,had loads of brake fade last session and ended up heading into the gravel trap at Redgate corner managed to keep it upright and rejoined the track to finish the session Edited March 2, 2019 by Simbec1863 4 Quote Link to comment
