    Look at post 6869, that looks like Nissin. Then -

    Look at post 7994.. Looks like it might be a Brembo caliper. Let us know what you find?? :wave

    Cory,

    I though you were selling the TA. I'd love to have the Rothmans stuff but I'll have to see what the shipping costs would be.

    cheers, i think one is a 3 pot caliper off a blackbird, was reading his post else where about it

    I might skip 4 pot and go for a 3 pot as may be easier to make up

    round about 120 € by DHL, but I guess I have to ship it into 2 boxes, each 90 €.
    I will look for cheaper service.

    Hello all.
    I am planning to change my rims during winter probably to Excel ones. At the same time i am thinking to maybe change the front wheel maybe to an 19 inch. This because I use my bike mainly on twisty roads and i think an 19 inch would suit my purpose better. Has anybody tried this? How about the speedometer - how can i resolve the false km`s shown with a smaller front wheel?

    Regards from Norway...

    Hey Tim,

    what happened? I wanted to place my next bid a few minutes ago and Ebay says you don't want to sell it anymore?
    I thought the whole day about the height of my maximum bid (higher than my PM bid)!

    Schelbi.
