Hi Folks
Re: RD07A (1998 W Vin No) Front Brakes Upgrade!
Been quite a while since my last post and, I dare to raise this old chestnut again! BTW, I have searched the forum but, I'm hoping there may be more recent research and actual upgrades that someone may be kind enough to advise on.
Last summer I fully rebuilt front & rear callipers and although adequate, they're still quite wooden and not at all confidence inspiring fully laden coming down Pyreeness mountain passes. And, with a recurring injury I've limited strength to pull the beast to a dignified stop.
I was made aware of H.E. Motorradtechnik Conversions https://translate.googleusercontent...LkJrhjjjpukxy0CSbFVVKt-QG0yk6p7Aw#lieferliste so I've sent them an email to see what they can advise for the XRV and my DR800 which has even worse brakes!
So, I'd be most grateful if anyone can advise of a Twin or Single Front Brake Conversion. I'd guess this will involve Calipers, Adapers, Discs and Mastercylinder. Oh, I want to retain standard forks too.
However, I'd be very interested if someone has a complete front end (Forks, yokes, stem, wheel, brakes etc) WP, Sachs, Marzocchi etc gathering dust for a reasonable price!
Thanks in anticipation,
