    Got to finish bedding them in yet but they feel good just doing that, they say the ceramics work fine hot, cold and in the rain.

    Man I have an intense desire to switch to them, mostly just cause i adore quality engineering and exotic materials, but I can't justify the cost right now. Got a lovely set of PFM's waiting to on go on carbon wheels back home and I think they're going to do a lot to already improve a damn fine brake setup.

    If money grew on trees, I'd be running discs like that in a shot though. They just look sooooo.. alluring.

    Pfm’s are fantastic brakes, I’ve got there 6 pots with 330mm iron discs on my Zx9r and the same on my gixxer 11 project, Wal at Pfm is a lovely guy to deal with. I always wanted a set of braketech ceramic on my rsv, they’re a fantastic looking disc but they’ve had them on hold for years now.

    The forks and rear sprocket finally arrived today after being in customs for nearly a month, hopefully get them fitted tomorrow.

    They certainly weren’t cheap but you’re only here once, I don’t go on fancy holidays or buy fancy clothes or eat and drink in fancy restaurants, this is where I get my kicks..

    I’d bought and fitted the rear caliper a few months ago and ordered the braketech iron disc which took a while to arrive, I didn’t mind waiting as it’s winter and not riding it.
