Well i have had to put my hand in my pocket and order some new discs for the front. It got to the point where the violent shaking was becoming way too much.
I found a UK manufacturer who makes them up to order and also the right side of £200.
I will put the results up when i have fitted them.
Just sent for a comfy kit for my bike. for those who dont know this consists of a new top yoke with rises,a set of rethals and extended brake pipes and other assorted fittings to make it work. The idea is it should make my bike more user frendly(for me that is) and take the weight off my arms...
Why are front discs so expensive? I can get a pair for £160 and they a thought of as cheapo rubbish.
I looks like to replace mine with some worth having and new pads is going to be £300 plus.

Wifes away all day today so thought i might fill the bike up and just go..anywhere..somewhere. Maybe to Doncaster to J and S (they have a burger van) but alas its bloody bouncing it down and i am back at work in the morning so weekend washout.:mad:

GSXR750 K1 swing arm with carbon hugger
And these bad boys GSXR1000 K1 forks and yokes
Just a few interesting pics of my recent bikes that led me to the GSXR.
Old Suzuki GSX1100F. Thats not me sat on it, thats the wife:D
ZX7R I rebuilt this as it was a shed when i got it. Not as nice to ride as the GSXR though.
Typical, just put my new fairings on and fitted my brand new Gel battery and now i couldent even open the garage door with our digging it out first.
Looks like its set in for a few days here :mad:
It will be common knowledge these days about the TRE but for those who dont know Suzuki in there wisdom installed different ignition maps for the different gears on your bike.
In a nut shell the first 4 gears have retarded timing and 5 and 6 dont. Also neutral has a map of its own.
