Pretech 6 pots

[Mittzy]

I am interested in the fronts as i rarely use the rears- And they work with the ABS????

He asserts they work with ABS. I'm counting on it as I expect delivery of a set (front and rear) in a couple of weeks or so.

Watching with interest

They are darn purrty, but I have no complaints with the stock brakes so that makes them very expensive bling! Will have to wait a while I reckon!

So much of life is perception.

Once I was between jobs, and while I was in another state looking for work, a dear friend offered to host my wife and then baby first born.

A week went by, and my wife offered to prepare dinner help share the added load. She placed a dish down on the table, and scooped some on a plate for the host's six-year-old daughter.

The other mother standing on the other side, leaned over the little girl, looking at the food, and proclaimed, "Oh, you won't like that."

My wife reported that the little girl screwed up her face and, having never touched the food, loudly said, "I don't like it!"

***********

Reading the reviews of the Rocket (before I met y'all), they were pretty much in agreement that "the Rocket needs more brakes". Perhaps I was set up.

I took my wife on our first 1,000 mile jaunt (reported elsewhere) and confirmed the ABS does work and "confirmed" the Rocket if not needing, could use more brakes.

All perception.

6 pots and stainless braided lines should give quite an upgrade in brake feel. It's on my "want to" list but I can't do it all immediately, not if I want any kind of budget for actual vacation riding.

 

[Oldwarrior]

are these the only choice of upgrade?

no you can purchase the beringer six pots system along with the rotors that goes with them and that is an extremely powferful braking system

Have yougot your calipers yet?

What he said - also removes any torque reaction from the wheel to the swing arm. Isolates suspension from baking influence. iirc Kawasaki did something similar on their track bike front ends.

Brake torque is fed into the chassis at a point separate from the swing arm pivot point. Thus, the chassis can be made to either raise or fall (or rotate) under brake load depending on where the attachment point is relative to the center of gravity and the force vector (contact patch to the attachment point.) A brake reaction link allows more of the brake loading to be transferred to sprung weight rather than being un-sprung as is the case with the load fed directly into the swing arm.

Movement of the contact patch relative to the swing arm is inconsequential by comparison.
