having just ridden a guys 748 at the twins ralley, i have come to the conclusion that the brakes on my t8 need to be improved, the bike is in std trim, and the brakes had a major winter overhaul, but im still not happy. any suggestion. cheers dave.
P34,s are the calipers used on later models,they are a 65mm mounting as opposed to the 888s 40mm mounting.Adaptors are available.The other options all depend on the depth of your pocket,Brembo GP calipers,radial master cylinders,master cylinder from later models etc.Maybe an idea to start with a good set of pads,I prefer Bendix and aftermarket hoses,HEL are excellent.Then if you need more braking power,a new master cylinder,calipers etc.And a decent front tyre to handle all the braking!.
Radial master cylinder and braided lines more probably make bigest differance without changing calipers. Changed to a radial master on the 996 as first upgrade. Well worth it. P34's from 998 and early 749 999 and aprillias mille. Great calipers but 65mm bolt spacing. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/DUCATI-749-999...QQcmdZViewItem
