Moto Speacail parts

[Murray]

It seems the english version of the Moto Specail web page has disappeared, was keen to get a deep V sump if I e-mail in engish am I likely to get a reply? I also managed to recently pick up some new 999 Brembo calipers for a very good price. So I need an adapter bracket to take the mounting pionts of the old brembo calipers out to the new ones. Apparently someone somewhere makes a braket for this pourpose if anyone knowes who exaclty and has thier contact details that would be very useful otherwise I make my own/get someone to make one. Anyone have anyidea what kind of master cylinder to use for these things would the stocker be enough?

 

Old Guzzi's never die they just cost more money.

http://www.moto-spezial.de works for me.

Yes got that bit but I'm sure they used to have an Engish version of the site. My german stops at Stien Bitter, Dunker sp? The web translation pages don't seem to be very good for trawling through the catalogue.

[Admin Jaap]

I would try an english email. Most germans can read/write english, they are just a bit shy... If they answer in german redirect it to me, I'll translate it for you.

Murray,

I don't know where you live but MG cycle in the US shows the deep sump on their web page.

murray, i ve seen adapters for 65mm brembo mounting but never for 40mm. So now you want some rsv factory forks:-)

[Murray]

LOL hmm might have to make them Ducati sells a bracket to go from 65mm on the fork leg to 40mm on the caiper the advantage of the older style calipers ? Whilst the RSV forks would be nice they are probally set up for radial calipers and these are still conventional ones. Also at some piont I will need to fund an engine rebuild and still mulling over adding to the stable with something a little newer. Now I just need to find someone with a milling machine in their back shed that they will let me use.

Does this sound like what you are looking for?

Brembo's new cast-alum 4-pad caliper - CLICK HERE TO SEE (M.S.R.P. @$225/per) utilizes four individually separate brake pads, one per piston, which increases the leading edge area for more bite, and allows the brake pads to wear more evenly. This larger caliper allows for each piston to be equally sized, giving it 11% more piston area over the 2-pad caliper; call that 22% more total for two calipers - CLICK TO SEE. These do contain dust seals, and are daily-use focused high performance calipers. For the older 40mm spaced caliper owners, Brembo N.A. also happens to make a 65mm (caliper side) down to 40mm (fork side) for use of this caliper for use on your bike.

Thats what I'm after price might be a bit ugly after shipping. Anyone have any clue whats the best size mastercylinder t drive these calipers. Will the stock 1100 sport one be ok I don't know its size some people have said 16mm which is just OK I believe. Others have said 13mm which I assume is not so good 999's are 19mm radial but I understand radial cylinders tend to have a shorter stroke so use a slightly larger diameter.

your stock will do, if you need to spend money the radial brembo 19 are good to.

But from my experience, the pad/disk combination makes the most difference.
