Good point, but i'm happy with it and i race for fun That's all what matters
to me I feel faster with 2 discs..........

never did us much harm running twin discs on both our bikes over the 3 years

Can't fault that logic
In the first ever DD race on the Cadwell Woodlands circuit at the start of 2005 I turned up with a 583 running a single Brembo fully floating cast disc as I was convinced one disc would be enough.

After failing to finish any of the 3 races I started that day due to brake problems the first that resulted in a crash going into Hall bends, I lost confidence in the idea of a single disc although I did give it another go at Castle Combe the following meeting in 2005 but just didn't trust it enough.

Ever since then I have been running a twin disc setup and have had no futher brake issues.

Your all worrying me now, but, dom and sam and harriet all only have 1 and they seem to stop ok, but half of my reason is to feel the differance for myself, I may go back to two I'll see how I go...... or stop! or whatever,
