R1 calipers

[[EMAIL PROTECTED]]

Hi friends, I  installed those calipers two weeks ago, but the weather was so rough I could not  take my bike out.   Today I had the oportunity of riding the bike and didn't think about it twice.   The feeling is really good taking into account that I also installed Galfer lines, but that was before I removed the original calipers.   Now with the R1 units the feeling when you grip the brake lever is that of a much more solid braking system. nevertheless, since I'm using the brakepads that came with the second hand calipers, the general feeling is that this system does not brake as well as the well bedded in original calipers and pads. I have to wait and let the 2000 mile worn pads to adjust to the disks. I see no point in installing new pads, but I did hear someone mentioning that other type of pads had better results. please inform me so I can do so.   Right now I'm about to leave for Australia and I plan on purchasing a second hand V-MAX to use while in that Country, but I do not know where the best place is to grab hold of one. Whoever knows of a place near Camberra, in Tumuc (70 miles from Camberra), between Sydney and Melbourne, where I can get one please contact me ASAP.   Please contact me during this week I will have to leave the techlist until I grab hold of an E-mail address in Ausie land, but will inform you in time.   Best regards, Charles ( [EMAIL PROTECTED] )
