| I knew it was too good to be true...my astonishing run of bad with my bike continues:
Got the discs mounted on the wheel a treat and just KNEW there was going to be a problem with the clearance between the bolt heads and the speedo drive - but not for the reason I expected.
The disc carrier is actually THICKER than the std Brembo that was fitted so, the bolt heads were even higher - since I wanted to use some dome headed bolts with a bigger allen key hole than normal. Worked around that by by fitting the older style bolts.
THEN - once mounted on the bike, there is hardly any clearance between the outer edge of the disc and the caliper on the LHS - but worse - on the RHS the outer disc surface is CONTACTING the inner body of the caliper!
The pistons are fully home already in prep for bleeding and the pads are only a little worn as they are only slightly below the level of the posts.
I've wrote to the seller / supplier to seek his this advice.
Maybe it really is better to stick with Brembo!
