Thanks for the input guys. I've got a pretty good plan now. As for the axle grinding thing, I'm not too sure where I got that either. I saw those 100mm brembos for about a G on motowheels, too high for me. I still can't believe Ducati put these forks on my bike in the first place. If this wasn't my first bike and I knew any better I would have sprung for the s2r1000 at least.

terrapete, the bike looks great. Its your PDF of the spacers I have refered to. And its rbx write up that made me buy these gsxr forks in the first place. I started this thread to assure myself of my decision.

The radial calipers fitted to the 999R and the 1098 are 100mm, in fact I have not seen 108mm on a Ducati.
I seem to remember that Moto Wheels or was it Yoyodyne had shims for the lower triples.

I have a set of 100mm 4 pad Bembo's surplus to requirement as I just got the 1098 monoblock type.

Hmm very interesting. Most of the calipers in Motowheels European section are 108mm, but your right those bikes you mentioned are 100mm. So what are those crappy stock brembos, that your probably just gonna toss in the trash anyway, worth to you, if someone was interested in them?  [roll]
