I reckon the best way to go would be to get the standard mounting "R" spec 4-pad calipers, and the matching discs - I got my calipers for 170-ish i think, complete with Carbone Lorraine SBK pads - f*ck me they make a huge difference! A lot more feel, and its perfect for lazy gits like me who only use two fingers to brake!

Anthony.....

........there is a huge difference between the 4-pad (per caliper) calipers and the 2 pad ones.

If the radial caliper mounts made that much difference again I'd be truly amazed and would buy them immediately.

I have to say that I was tempted to look at the radial route, but the money could be much better spent on other goodies!!

It also seems that with the waveys fitted to the new Kwaka, they're back in fashion too!!

Tim,

That mate of mine at Oulton had the full Brembo/JHP conversion, think the CNC fork bottoms were in excess of £700, the brake lines alone were over £400, I think he got a bit of a deal, as he knows Mark Griffiths pretty well (Renegade boss), think the whole setup cost him just over 2K, using some of their unused calipers/discs etc, should be about 3k I reckon.

Saying that they maybe for sale, as he has just replaced that 996R with a brand new 998F02 race bike, still in the crate, don't even want to guess the cost of that thing !

When you say replace, I bet he hasn't got rid of the 996R, he's probably just stuck it next to his other one in his front room!!

The Wheel Man strikes again. You told me thay were cabon/mags at the AGM but they look like full cabon in the pic. Don't tell me this is yet another different set

With all those spares you've got now surely you can do me a cheap set

If a radial conversion is gonna make the brakes any better than the four pad set then its gonna tip you straight over the handlebars as soon as you touch the brakes!!

I must admit that I have lusted after some sort of radial brake conversion but as my arms can only stand about 7 or 8 attempts at Mansfield (Cadwell) anything more than the four pad set is no more than eye candy!!
