Beat me to it Dickie, best money I have ever spent!

P34 calipers if you running the original twin p[ad caliper. The P34's are the one's with 4 pads per disc.

was thinking of the slipper but is it practical on the roads for everyday riding

its still on standard brakes set up so what advantage is there with the p34 calipers and how much for both suggestions ???

[yeti]

Slipper is obviously not as much an advantage for everyday road riding, but it will still make a difference. As for cost, I believe Nelly at CXornerspeed might still have some specials left at around £750 including a Ti clutch cover and an enlarged slave cylinder.

P34 calipers are a huge improvment on the earlier types, they have to be felt to be believed. Not sure exactly how much but think around £150 per caliper plus another £60 or so for pads.

P34's,,,,,,,,,,,,
