You can get a radial fork bottom from AJR or JHP that will take the 100mm radial brake caliper. Expect to pay in the region of £1500 for the pleasure. For me and a few others that "like a nice bit of kit" with the engineering and materials used. Its got to be the race radial setup, £3000 upwards. The calipers are 108 mm and the two will not mix. Also the JHP fork bottom allows you to upgrade your fork internals to suite. Is there a difference. For me yes. Brakes do take a while to work from cold. They don't grab like P4's, but then again they don't tend to fade either. Since having them fitted, I just haven't had a good day to try them out with the same confidence of recent. I've just crashed again for the 3rd time in 9 months and demon braking isn't a priority.

P.S. Chris, if like suggested you opt for the 999s/r forks, I think you will need the front fender also, because it has a different mountings. There might also be a issue with the offset of the calipers?
