Not sure but dont cross drilled disks suffer from premature cracking as they encourage stress fractures ??

phil think about it logically, all the bhp at brunters and brakign last min


rather you than me

wasnt a dig so dont be sooo defensive, just i personally prefer decent brakes for the aplication and 190+ i want best i can afford

im not hating as ya know as i like DIY stuff , shame ya never reply to pm's for help but thats another post for another day


but 326 discs are not that big for gradual braking from them speeds in short disttances

BUT it will brakes obviously but ya not gonna have the ease and peace of mind

so and forgive me ya touchy fooker

FYI std 2wd brakes for the road never once caused me any concern with around 430plus bhp...ok not a mental driver but then you cant drive a t4 car mental or a t38 for that matter on the road unless your insane...my car with 600plus will have good enuff brakes for the application

I think it's a money thing with Phil to be honest...

He's stated many a time he's sorta well off and can do what he pleases upto a certain extent, yet he buy's reasonably cheap bikes, when he bought the binliner it was not a very new or very trick one, the seems to be done to a budget as well (hence DIY?) and he just doesn't want to spend the dosh on proper brakes.

Phil is all about keeping up appearances: of being a hard man, of being a rich man, of being a knowledgable one and so on whilst infact he's a friendly, caring, very sensitive bloke with enough money to play but deffo not in the big league, that knows quite a few facts about YB's but is nowhere near a tuner.

Probably if you met him in a pub he'd seem a normal, likeable fellar too!

Now if this doesn't get him to bite....

*EDIT* not your business really!

I happy...i got where i am by being minimalist...dont overkill...thats the difference between you and me...i get by on what is realistically needed and have more than you..LOL.

If i sound big headed who cares,Hooligan got me to bite..this is me life as a G with my Artillery

Life is for living on the edge...if i die by my brakes then its better than a drive by ROFL

WTF? Rods went awol and as you wanted them asap I refunded you immediately as you wanted rods next day for shotpeening unlike you who took 2 weeks to refund payment for a turbo you never sent that allegedly fell off a shelf you put up! 700hp engine builder who can't even put a fucking shelf up. You charge VAT but ask for payment into some birds bank account...what a professional....DORK!

PMSL! You've brought this up time after time again Phil and I still have to correct you on what was said:

You asked if I was in the UK and I said I might be...so might also be not...

Besides that I have asked to meet with you on several occasions afterwards i.e. the ring and even when I came to visit England (unfortunatly you were nowhere near where I was going ) and since we cleared up our 'issues' all has been well.
I think the people of PF that have met me in person will be able to tell you I am not the sort of person that acts any different behind a keyboard as opposed to real life unlike you apperantly as I keep hearing everybody saying that you're completely different in real life or even over the phone so I think this is one of these things where you project your own flaws on me

It'm just winding you up a bit, nothing but friendly banter mate
