It is a very, very pretty machine, and mine decided to wet itself when Dickie pulled up outside the garage - a quick spit of petrol from the carbs all over the floor!

That red frame is very smart, and not much to do until it's race ready either.

Nice one Dickie!

[chicken]

that's a lovely motor Dickie.

Looks like it shrunk in the wash though so let me know if you want to swap for my 600SS!

You got lucky with the brakes Dickie. The '05 bikes should have black cheapo Brembos not the gold 4 pot jobbies. Must be using up old stock? A nice extra to have!

[dickieducati]

yes i did well on that. i think mine was one of the early ones so they may not have had the newer, not so good brakes in the factory.

[Rattler]

Are they 4 pad jobbies? Or 4 pot - 2 pad ones?

[dickieducati]

terrific question.

i refer you to my above quote about not knowing much about bikes.

i would assume they are 4 pot 2 pad. but i don't really have a danny la rue!

[ali]

They appear to be the four pad ones going on the fact they've got two pins holding the pads on. I'm not sure if they do a two pad one with two pins at the top or not ,but all the other two pad calipers I've seen only have the one pin on each caliper.

[dickieducati]

thats just what i was trying to say!

[Rattler]

Yeh - they just look different to both the 4 pad and 2 pad ones that I've seen.

[Rattler]

Nah - looking again, they have 2 pins retaining what must be a single pad for each side, so they'll be the 4 pot, 2 pad jobbies I reckon!!
