fyi:   i could care less about the oem pads.  i still think they are all garbage.

[ducatiz]

pads look the same too, but are different:

108.9 x 41.3 x 7.6mm

and

94 x 37.3 x 7.5mm

If It's Not Scottish It's CRAP!

SC and S2R 800 look similar, but are different sizes (I think)

Lol at pAst umpteen posts. I get one thing wrong and look at the dust stirred up sorry you are right, I have a single 4pot on the front, not sure why I typed 2pot.

Thread title still stands, I'm after the pro's and cons of either. Either way I will be running braided lines.

- the single 6 will be heavier than a 4pot, but compared to two 4pots?
- also only 1 disk required with the single, obviously.
- which will perform better in aggressive road conditions? I'm guessing the dual 4's as they total more braking surface area?
- there would be more maintenance required with the 6pot? Expensive with pads?
- I'll be getting new discs all round, again money is a factor so I'm currently looking at china ebays for about $230 front and rear. Would I need a higher spec disc with the 6pot?

Anything else you may think is relevant or and idea, shout it out

In summary. Braided lines, soft pads, floating rotor buttons and better master cylinder (optional) may do it. There are threads on making your rotor buttons fully floating.

If all that isn't enough, used calipers and rotors come up on the forum regularly.

and with some used calipers, you'll need an adaptor from 40-65mm for mounting...

seems to be plenty of 40mm spaced callipers about... unless your going for the 4pad callipers i don't see the benefit in using adapters...

maybe I'm missing something here but in my mind the 40mm 2pad 4pot callipers with a traditional pee cup gold line radial master seem the best low budget upgrade for this bike.

if you already have 1 4pot then this is what I would do.  If for no other reason then that a single nissin (as awesome a brake as they are) will look out of place and weird on a monster.

they look ok on a Gran Canyon, which is pretty much a Ducati

those are neither th 6 pot nissin's being discussed nor a motorcycle that is being discussed.

  do they have a know-it-all merit badge your gunning for or are you just addicted to impressing strangers on the internet?
