Do them there rotors make it stop better?
I thought the last ones were pretty good or was it another Saturday morning visit to your local "special" mezanine and just couldn't resist.
Hard to tell right now as they have been barely used so far. Probably no different to the originals for my riding these days but my old gold disks felt like there was a slight warp in them. Not from the mezanine of opportunity Matty, Evolution in Italy. Will get my old ones checked out then flog them i guess. My "mechanic" fitted them for me, payback time there one day down the track

Fitted Brembo T Drive disk rotors the other day
well, Paul did
Then today, A Greek bearing gifts arrived at my doorstep....... Wobbart made me a lovely pair of axle sliders...
Please bear in mind that both of these are safety items..............
Just my 2cents worth , the problem with billet axel slider although pretty, if god forbid you have a get off they tend to grab the tar rather tar slide, thus causing more damage than what would normally be prevented by acetal sliders . I’ve seen many bent forks caused from these types of sliders just from a slow get off.

Then Doc, if you see me in a precarious position this weekend i will expect you to launch yourself under my front forks to protect them
input noted and appreciated all the same.....

Hi. I’m Troy McClure. You may remember me from such self-help tapes as “Smoke Yourself Thin” and “Get Some Confidence, Stupid!”

I thought you would have gone for the "safety" helmet.

Finished the install of the S4RS ohlins rear shock, resprung to suit my weight. Took the opportunity to also get rid of the cannister under the seat. Made up a nice adapter plate from 3mm aluminium and mounted the regulator and rear coil to the adapter. Next step is to re-assemble the upgraded Showa adjustable forks and fit them before the next track day.

Dropped my bike off for a major service. The first thing the mechanic says is "see that?", pointing to the bottom of my front forks, "I want that for my racer project". He wanted to swap his ohlins for mine. I didn't know the difference but said "no, I prefer the look of mine". How am I supposed to trust him now. Grr

Sounds dodgy alright!
Put a few marks on your forks, like a few nicks or scrapes and make sure you take pictures of them.

At a guess i'd say D'Moto...... and if so, it would be Shaun and his dry sense of humour i bet.

Amazing how when you ride your bike nearly everyday you unconciously compensate for wear and tear!! Particularly on the suspension!
I installed some new fork springs and fork oil on the 750 and bugger me what a difference!
Now to save the Pesos and get rid of that bloody Sachs on the arse end! And of course new rubber!!
