Fully Floating Discs - Rosso Corse

Headhunter · 09-07-2008, 10:11 PM

Front discs were badly in need of replacing - phone call to Ray/Marcus @ Rosso Corse yesterday to order them from suppliers - phone call today @ 11am - get yer bike over.

Busy as ever and still time to fit people in! Gotta hand it to them for lightening service plus a free can of chain lube.

Need to bed them in but can't wait to test them properly. Next item to help the credit crunch.......a radial master cylinder.

Well done! I have both the floating doodahs and the radial doodah - fan****ing tastic stopping ability and I just love seeing people look as if to say "oh god you'll never stop" and then I do!!!

Simply sublime!!!!

Just need to find some cattle grids too!

Hope to catch you tomorrow at the ace.

Or if you don't fancy FB's offering (how could you resist) I have a new fully adjustable ISR master you could have for £200, you'll find some pic's in this thread.

Sure you can - as long as you buy the ISR radial master cylinders to go with them!

+ 1 for awesome stoppers - did my first rolling stoppie the other day, didn't realise what I'd done until the rear wheel came down

Most impressed!

Headhunter · 10-07-2008, 12:27 PM

Fatbloke + Kato, cheers for the offers guys. Will check photo's/links later once I've got back from the Ace. Cwap IT system at work!!!

Yep after fitting radial 19x18, cast-iron floaters and Pilot Powers I did a rolling(ish) stoppie accidentally... two fingers, 70mph, front tyre squealing... wicked!

Better on a cattle grid too!!! :-)

Zimbo · 11-07-2008, 07:11 PM

My own findings are that cast full floaters, PF pads and a radial m/c is actually too much, the brake turns into an on / off switch with little progressive "feel". With a 998 standard m/c however it's simply perfect!

slob · 11-07-2008, 07:18 PM

HH's got stainless floaters not cast iron.
I find mine have lovely feel/feedback with Ferodo sintered pads.

11-07-2008, 07:25 PM

Mine too - I love the beasties - like squeezing a big marshmallow.....

Headhunter · 11-07-2008, 07:31 PM

Hmmmmm marshmallow, as he wipes up his drool.

Have bedded in nicely and can certainly tell the difference - I bet it's mainly due to the new pads!!!! In any event - much better - highly recommend, if you need to change discs and, if not, they make great noise over bumps.
