Re: What bike?
The Nissins are better, but since you ride like a old woman it won't matter.

Re: What bike?
I've been googling, it seems that they split opinion, some people think they're an upgrade and some don't.
They look pretty and I've never had a bike with six pots before.

Re: What bike?
I wouldn't paint it, it's proper early 90s and the original paint.

It's far too good to paint, it looks factory fresh. The sales man said the pink went well with my eyes.Asian Boss wrote: ↑Mon May 03, 2021 4:23 pm I wouldn't paint it, it's proper early 90s and the original paint.

But 750's are for the gays. Real men ride 1100's.

If I didn't have my heart set on the 1100, I would have had that H2 as it's just a cool.

Re: What bike?
I didn't like them on my SRAD, but they stopped it fine, I thought the older Nissins felt better, but most of that is probably master cylinder / caliper ratio.KungFooBob wrote: ↑Mon May 03, 2021 4:09 pm I've been googling, it seems that they split opinion, some people think they're an upgrade and some don't.

Re: What bike?
That does indeed look minty, lovely
I'm not a fan of them, but I reckon if you're gonna have one that is the colour scheme to have- it just shouts Gixxah!

Best I found was the 4 pot tokico off the 600 SRAD.KungFooBob wrote: ↑Mon May 03, 2021 3:47 pm Just spotted that it's got the 6 Pot Tokico's off the later model rather than the four pot Nissin's it should have. I've no idea if that is good or bad.
Apparently the wheelie was actually unscripted and performed by the man himself. He's quite handy on a bike.

Re: What bike?
My 98 ZX9R had those 6 potters,they did their job ok,but were a little lacking in feel if you pushed them. Track use caused them to overheat and fade like a bastard.KungFooBob wrote: ↑Mon May 03, 2021 3:47 pm Just spotted that it's got the 6 Pot Tokico's off the later model rather than the four pot Nissin's it should have.

Re: What bike?
I'm sure there's others too, specifically Kawa... i'm sure i bought them for the old 600SRAD i did up once upon a time. Back in the day i bought them from the US as they were far easier to find over there.

Re: What bike?
There are two types of FZR750R, the most common is the OW01, which has the Nissin 4 pots, and the earlier FZR750R which is very rare, but has 4 pot Sumitomos, which won't fit your forks.KungFooBob wrote: ↑Tue May 04, 2021 3:12 pm Apparently all these share the same mounts and are all interchangeable should the need arise.
