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](images/smiles/icon_cool.gif) _________________

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](images/smiles/icon_lol.gif) |

Any particular reason why some Goodridge wasnt fitted ? _________________ "Its better to die standing, than to live on your knees" |

No need for goodridge when its braided line anyway... unless you want a fancy colour option i guess ![Laughing](images/smiles/icon_lol.gif) |

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](images/smiles/icon_rolleyes.gif) _________________

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. _________________ "Its better to die standing, than to live on your knees" |

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. |
