Thanks Antonye

So I would be best to go for some P4 calipers? Anyone got any for sale?

Then i need to find some 65mm fork bottoms! Any ideas?

Cheers

Chris

To be honest, the best thing you can do is get some decent pads in there first, as this can improve the feel of the brakes no end. Its all down to personal choice but I prefer Carbonne Lorraine SBK3 pads as they have excellent initial "bite" on them.

Second cheapest is to replace your lateral master cylinder with a Brembo radial, as this will increase the amount of "feel" (feedback) you get from the brakes. Again this helps your feedback of the brakes so it doesn't feel like two wooden blocks in your calipers instead of pads!

If you still find all that inadequate, then think about replacing the calipers and fork bottoms!
