Lets establish one thing here .... I'm not going to get on the bike tonight, shoot outside and pin it to 160mph down to the roundabout and pray they work....
Chrsit... i'm not dense you know.
Did you not read the thread where i'm asking mate who knows this stuff to guide me...
you were not about last night either when i texted my mechanic to get a price for labour from him for fitting a kit.....

Don't get me wrong, if you're not up to sorting brakes then it's not something you should be messing with but it's not rocket science..
If I can walk into any Japanese dealer and buy replcement seals/parts for my calipers then why shouldn't I be able to for my Ducati? It's certainly not 'cos Brembo technology is so far in advance of the stuff the Japanese are knocking out.
Perhaps it's a litigation thing, but then the Japanese don't seem to have a problem with that so p'raps money...?
Money !!!!,is it f**k about money !,it's about your life !!!c,mon guys,your're missing the point,what khush is saying is,that it looks like steve,may be using the wrong approach,with materials/technique, etc,plus,do you really,want to be messing around with brakes,NO !,the reason GPR don't supply service kits,is for that very reason,they arn't D.I.Y fitment !
So get a proffesional to do it,it'll cost you around £100 to get GPR to do it right !
I can't believe,some of the comments made on this board ,with regard to money,and costs etc,you're running a Ducati for f**ksake !!,if you can't afford to run/maintain one correctley,then buy a jap 600 !
woooah there..... Where did i say i was using the wrong stuff, i came on and asked what is the correct grease/lube to use.... i stated what i had, but not that i would use it at all.
I agree that brakes are fairly important and wouldn't mess with them beyond my skills (or lack thereof).
What's the number for GPR please getns..... not saying i'm going to use them, but i like to have options.
