    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Jim,
I'm currently running with a single disk as I was still in the evaluation phase.
When I looked around for GSXR 750 300 mm disks, there were only "premium" suppliers on the market.
The one I bought came from Metalgear. Very good but not cheap!

I would have bought 310 mm disks but my calipers could only accomodate the 300 mm version...
That's when I discovered that while the fork stanchions are the same between models the calipers aren't!
I'm going to buy the gold valves but what's the rating of your springs?

With two 310mm rotors and an aftermarket brake master I have plenty of brakes but at the same time there is alot of travel in the handle. I like that as it gives me plenty of feel . It might be disconcerting to pull the brake when just standing still, but rest assured when moving the bike pulls down to a stop very quickly in response to my brake lever pressure.

I suspect you will get twice the travel out of your lever if you decide to add the other rotor.

I also have quite some travel before the single caliper bites the disk.
The feel currently is not good as I need to apply quite a bit of pressure to slow down.
The power is there however.
You are right, with two calipers it should double my stopping power at the same hydraulic pressure but...there will be more freeplay.
