One of the best I remember when I was racing my Mini many years ago. Was that the original gearbox must be retained. I saw this special saloon with its original gearbox locked in 4th gear to give 1:1 output, then passing through to a Hewland transaxle in the back. Fkin Brilliant.

bradders if you looking to fit radial calipers, Monster S4R Testastretta (2007-2008) Showa forks are 50mm top 54mm bottom

as the S4RT is a heaver bike the stock spring rate might be a better fit for you then those spongey 620 marzochis

you might need to find some 15mm offset 6 hole rotors though

dont know if any of thats legal for DD mind

thx, probably not unless I come across them super cheap...dont intend to brake that much so wont be too worried about them!! And they must be legal as Hugh ran them last year in B

mainly looking for adjustability - seems from what I have read elsewhere that the non SBK ones arent really worth having, may as well spend a few hundred quid on rebuilding std ones to suit me and my style

I've got a set of radial calipers that are not being used right now...

If you want to run one radial brake dallas is your man hes brought a pair with brackets to fit them to normal forks he had to buy as a pair but is only running single brake so he has a spare one with bracket for sale

Probably the crappy two pin ones, in my opinion the only radial worth changing to is the 1098/1198/848 Evo type, otherewise your not really gaining anything over the 65mm Axial mounted calipers.

Hugh's forks were from a 696 Monster so although Radial mount they are not adjustable like the S4R forks

I sent Dallas a couple of links the other day, one to a set of Radial Caliper adapters for fitting 100mm spaced radial calipers to 65mm axial fork mounts, the other to a set of 1098 Radial calipers.

If he's going down this route he should have a set of 4-pads coming up for sale

[bradders]

not sure whether to go 1 or 2 disc next year, think that extra bit of braking power may be useful

[Spjallen]

first dibs on those 4 pads please!
