Took me bloody ages to bleed the thing! Still feels a little spongy, but I have only taken it up and down the road a couple of times, hopefully when it warms up it'll be better. Cool

Looks good... shame they dont grip the entire surface of the disc though, seems a waste having such a large unswept area, i guess its a issue of clearance with something else so theyve had to space it out so far??

Get some decent HH rated pads and it should brake well enough to bend something Laughing

Any particular reason why some Goodridge wasnt fitted ?

No need for goodridge when its braided line anyway... unless you want a fancy colour option i guess Laughing

Yep, no need for goodridge, to complicated to fit and not necessary.

I've just taken the scoot out for a real good thrash, and can confirm there is definitely an improvement in braking! (surprise surprise!) Rolling Eyes

I was just thinking that Goodridge would perform to a higher standard over Std Piaggio brake pipe.
I wasnt sure if there was a specific reason.

No the goodridge wouldnt be any better, just you would get better colour options and a range of fastener fittings.... the standard master cylinders will never over pressurize any braided line.
